Compass Inline Block Navigation

I seem to have hit a road block with the code challenge:

Next, use a utility mixin to make .main-nav a horizontal list. Set the float direction to left and the padding value to 5px.

Here is what I have:

.main-nav {
@include inline-block-list(5px);
@include float-left;
}

Hi Jason,

I think you've simply confused the mixin you were supposed to use, the challenge is asking for a horizontal-list while you're attempting to style it using an inline-block-list.
