Here on the Treehouse forums we usually try to give a hint first and then wait for the asker to respond.
The goal of these forums is not to get people past a code challenge, instead it's to supplement learning so students of Treehouse solve their own issues.
If you take a look at posts from the Treehouse teachers you'll see them give several hints and rarely just give a correct answer to a code challenge.

Sorry about the quick reply on this one.
I edited my answer to try to not give the direct answer to the post.

So you've got a span element, which is inside of a p element. How do you write a selector that will select anelement inside of another element?
Remember selectors are evaluated right to left or another way to think of it as, outside in.
If you need a little review you can read about selectors over on the Selectutorial
