can't figure out this code challenge

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 max-width is 500px.

Hey Marty,

It's pretty much the same as the first part of the challenge, but it is the wording of the 2nd challenge that I think is confusing (and not just you).

Where it starts with open a scope on an <ul> with the ID of menu, you need to just ignore the ul part and focus on the ID. From there it's just like the first part where the rest are nested inside of the last.

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

You select the ID menu -- inside that you select the li tags -- and inside that you declare the media query.

I hope this makes sense. Keep Coding! :)

Thank you Jason. Yes, now it makes sense.
