Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 2,286 PointsBug in the answer processing for task 3?
So after completing tasks 1 and 2 of the Code Challenge, adding the third task results in the second task being flagged as incorrect with an error message of "did you set the last-child to azure?", which I did. Am I actually doing something wrong, or is this just a bug?
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
li:first-child {
color: white;
}
li:last-child {
color: azure;
}
li:nth-child(even) {
color: dodgerblue;
}

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 2,286 PointsThank you for the response, I actually noticed this right after posting my comment, haha. Crazy how far 1 small thing overlooked can take you down the rabbit hole.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 2,286 PointsSo I believe the error is occurring because the nth-child(even) is causing the last item to become dodgerblue. I attempted to switch their order in the code, and now the dodgerblue task will not register as correct because the last-child: azure is now changing the color of one the even items.
