Hey people,
although I provided the below correct answer, the code challenge keeps on asking me if I set "clear: left" for every 4th gallery item. Why is this?
gallery li:nth-child(4) {
clear: left;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#logo {
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}
h1, h2 {
color: #fff;
}
nav a {
color: #fff;
}
nav a:hover {
color: #32673f;
}
h1 {
font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
font-size: 1.75em;
font-weight: normal;
}
img {
max-width: 100%;
}
#gallery {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
#gallery li {
float: left;
width: 45%;
margin: 2.5%;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
color: #bdc3c7;
}
nav ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0 10px;
padding: 0;
}
nav li {
display: inline-block;
}
nav a {
font-weight: 800;
padding: 15px 10px;
}
.profile-photo {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto 30px;
max-width: 150px;
border-radius: 100%;
}
.contact-info {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
font-size: 0.9em;
}
.contact-info a {
display: block;
min-height: 20px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 20px 20px;
padding: 0 0 0 30px;
margin: 0 0 10px;
}
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
#gallery li {
width: 28.3333%;
}
#gallery li:nth-child(3+1) {
clear: left;
}
}

23,469 PointsHi pascal, try to use 4n in stead of 4. With 4n you saying every 4th child. With 4 you saying, only the 4th child.
#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
clear: left;
}

7,617 PointsYour answer is actually wrong.
#gallery li:nth-child(3+1) {
clear: left;
This selects every 3 list item starting at the first list item +1. Also you are missing the n after your 3.
#gallery li:nth-child(4n+0) {
clear: left;
This is the correct code selects every 4th list item.

15,719 Points3+1 will not work at all for selecting anything because of the missing "n" beside 3. It will not do anything when ran. Proof: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/eNvvyQ
Also, the "+0" is not necessary within the nth-child pseudo element.
