CSS CSS Selectors Advanced Selectors :nth Pseudo-Class Challenge

clear left

Not sure why this isn't working.

We want three floated images per row. In the media query, create a pseudo-class selector that targets the fourth img child element first, then every third img that follows. Then, add a clear property that clears the left float.

style.css 
/* Write the CSS in the media query below */

@media (min-width: 607px) {
  img{float:left};
  img:nth-child(3n+4){clear:left};
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Selectors</title>
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <img src="thumb-forest.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-resort.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-trees.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-falls.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-view.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-sunset.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-lake.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-beach.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-bay.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-peaks.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-falls.jpg" alt="">
    <img src="thumb-resort.jpg" alt="">
</body>
</html>

Hi Israel,

Semi-colon placement seems to be the issue here. You want to place each semi-colon after each CSS statement itself, to express that that particular CSS statement is over. (I also recommend using whitespace a little to make it easier to find errors, but that isn't required.)

/* Write the CSS in the media query below */

@media (min-width: 607px) {
   img {
      float: left;
   }
   img:nth-child(3n+4){
      clear: left;
   }
}

Hope this helps!
