2,472 PointsWhy is this code: #gallery li:nth child(4n){ clear: left; } not the correct answer for the challenge
I'm not sure why this isn't getting the correct answer on the code challenge.

15,451 Points(copying from comment to answer. Thanks, Jeff) That's the correct code (except there should be a dash between nth and child). However, when I put that myself in the code challenge, it didn't validate. It took me a moment to notice that the brackets were messed up by their code editor. It usually automatically adds a closing bracket when you open one, but that doesn't happen within media queries, so you were probably missing some closing brackets.
It should look like this when you're done.
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
#gallery li {
width:28.3333%;
} /* close it */
#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
clear:left;
} /* close it */
} /* close the media query */
