Advanced Sass Concepts: Working with Media Queries, Coding Challenge 2

Description of challenge is:

Open a scope on an <ul> with the ID menu. Inside that, open a scope on a <li> element. Using Sass nesting, add a media query so that the <li> elements will have an attribute of text-align: center when the media is screen and the <li> has a max-width of 500px.

What I have is:

ul #menu {
    li {
      @media screen and (max-width: 500px) {
        text-align: center;
      }
    }
}

However I receive an error "Bummer! Select 'li' tags within the 'ul' that has an ID of '#menu'. Set their text-align property to center." and I cannot seem to figure out what is wrong with my code.

Answered it moments after posting. It should be:

ul#menu {
    li {
      @media screen and (max-width: 500px) {
        text-align: center;
      }
    }
}

Try removing the space between ul and the id selector: ul#menu { li { [...]
