Hey so the challenge is asking you to float both the .footer-nav AND the .footer-nav list items. In your code you only floated the .footer-nav items. Just add the same rule for the .footer-nav itself:

.clearfix::after {
  content: "";
  display: table;
  clear: both;
}

.footer-nav {
  float: left;
}

.footer-nav li {
  float: left;
}

.logo {
  float: right;
}
