You need to select certain images using the attribute selector syntax element[attribute^="value"]. Note that the ^= means starts with. If you need to look up how to select using other filters try this w3schools page.

The rest of the challenge questions will likely be similar, so here's an example to get you started...

If you're stuck, here is my advice: do not insert a space after your img element. You may save many minutes reminding that! :-)

I've been building HTML/CSS websites for over 3 years, and never knew about this type of selectors...

They are AWESOME! Such a great lesson :)
