Code Challenge: Advanced Selectors #3

I have this:

p { a { color: red; } }

p {

a { color:blue; &:hover { opacity:0.5; } }

It says: Bummer! You need to set 'opacity: 0.5' for the hover pseudoclass.

Also, I noticed that the green box says Running... Is Treehouse having some troubles?

Hi Robert,

When you added the hover rule in step 3 you must have forgotten to add a closing curly brace. You only have 2 final closing curly braces and it should be 3

p {
  a {
    color: red;
  }
}

p {
  > a {
    color:blue;
    &:hover {
      opacity:0.5;
    } /* You forgot one of these 3 final closing curly braces */
  }
}

You should be nesting the direct child rule inside your 1st p rule so that you don't have this duplication.

Like this:

p {
  a {
    color: red;
  }
  > a {
    color:blue;
    &:hover {
      opacity:0.5;
    }
  }
}

I found out that you forget the closing curly bracket, so it should be like this <br /> <br />

p { > a { color:blue*}*; &:hover { opacity:0.5; } }
