Just for reference to anyone else that stumbles on this. You can find the answer over here: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/trying-to-apply-a-css-selector-to-an-unordered-list-with-class-contactinfo

quoted below:

This is close. You just have an extra space. Should be no space between the ul and the .contact-info. 

ul.contact-info {
  font-size:0.9em;
  margin:0;
  padding:0;
  list-style:none;
}

Another option is to remove the ul entirely. It isn't needed unless you plan to use .contact-info on something else later. Anytime you can cut down on unneeded selectors saves you headache later when your CSS gets really long and specific.

You forgot to include a link to the challenge, so I can't be certain about this...

I'm going to guess that you didn't intend to make a descendant selector.

ul .contact-info targets an element with class contact-info that is a descendant of a ul element. But you may have intended to target a ul that has that class. The selector for that would be "ul.contact-info" (no space).
