HTML How to Make a Website Responsive Web Design and Testing Refactor the Layout

How is this not correct?!?!

Now, clear the left side of every 4th list item in the element with the id of "gallery". Here's a hint: You'll need to write another selector inside of the media query at the bottom of the file, in addition to the one you wrote in the previous step. You'll also need to use the nth-child pseudo selector.

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: Changa One, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
      max-width: 150px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

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

.contact-info a {
  display: block;
  min-height: 20px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 20px 20px;
  padding: 0 0 0 30px;
  margin: 0 0 10px;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {

  #gallery li {
    width: 28.33333%;
  }

  #gallery li:nth-chi (4n) {
  clear: left;
  }


}

Sorry for all the edits! Anyway, it looks like you were pretty close, you just have to watch out for syntax. Also, you don't need to have the "n" or "b" in the nth-child(4n+b) selector.

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {

  #gallery li {
    width: 28.33333%;
  }

  #gallery li:nth-child(4) { 
  clear: left;
  }


}

Thanks for your response Abdul! However I have tried both. For whatever reason during the lessons video is was input as nth-chi, or at least I am pretty sure it was. So when it came to the code challenge thats how I proceeded. A quick query revealed that I was typing the pseudo selector wrong.

Updated my css to this:

gallery li:nth-child (4n) { clear: left; }

And still receive a wrong answer message.

Did you try removing the "n"? The counter will default to 1 without it, so you don't need this variable in there. Updated my CSS as well.

Just gave it a shot and no luck.

I wish the feedback was a little more clear. hahaha "Bummer! Did you set "clear: left;" on every fourth gallery list item?"

Thanks for your help with this man!

Thanks for your help man! So I made a mistake and had added an additional space between nth-child and the defined value.
