Create a new rule that targets the first 4 list items only. Set the font weight to bold.

Bummer! Check the selector in your CSS. Make sure font-weight is set to 'bold'.

:nth-child(-4n){ font-weight:bold; }

Make sure you put "li" before the :nth-child selector name like this:

li:nth-child(-4n) { }
