CSS How to Make a Website Styling Web Pages and Navigation Create a Horizontal List of Links

Why isn't this working?

I am pretty sure I'm doing this right but it keeps telling me bummer. I checked how I did it in workspaces during the class and this is how I wrote it so I am very confused. It says to set the padding for the links in the nav to 15 pixels on the top and bottom and then 10 pixels on the left and right. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  margin: 0 10px;
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}
