If you remove the n from 4n, it should work fine!

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {

#gallery li {
width: 28.3333%;
}

#gallery li:nth child(4) 
clear: left;
}

Hi Carlos Herrera

You have a space between li:nth-child and (4n). Should be li:nth-child(4n) not li:nth-child (4n)

See this post on CSS Tricks for an explanation of nth-child:

Thanks for the link Ethan, very useful explanation. Still I don't see the error and I can't make it work. In my workspace it works fine and it's the same code.

Carlos, look more closely at your code. Your nth child code is missing the opening curly bracket.

Change (4n) to (4). That should do the trick.
