Cannot figure this one out?!

Next, use the flexbox property and value that gives every list item inside main-nav evenly distributed widths.

@media (min-width: 611px) {

    /* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-nav {
   display: -webkit-flex;
   display: flex;
   height: 100%;
  }
.main-nav li {
  -webkit-align-self: center;
  align-self: center;
  -webkit-flex-grow: 1;
  flex-grow: 1;
  margin-left: 8px;
  margin-right: 8px;

}

}

Take out everything in main-nav li except for flex-grow: 1;. You only need that because "Flex" is made to be able to work on it's own without all of the margin and align stuff.

Hope that helps!

You also don't need the height: 100%; or the display: -webkit-flex; in there.

@media (min-width: 611px) {

    .main-nav{
    display: flex;
  }

  .main-nav li{
    flex-grow: 1;
  }


}

The "flex-grow" property sets each item equally spaced, giving each item a value of "1". As long as each of the list items has the same "flex-grow" value, they will be evenly spaced.
