You know what my favorite restaurant in San Francisco is? The answer is that there are so many great restaurants that I couldn't choose one. But honorable mentions include <a href="#">Mr. Chow's</a>, <a href="#">Live Sushi</a> and <a href="#">Piccino</a>.

7,786 PointsThe question specifically asks you to style divs with a class of footer. Not "anything" with a class of footer. It's all about specificity.
