I am not sure what is wrong with this css

On this question I do not understand why this is wrong:

contact-info ul {

font-size: 0.9em; margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; }

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

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%;
}

The question is asking you to set those styles on the element with the class of .contact-info. You're trying to select an unordered list inside an element with the id of #contact-info. Here's what it should be:

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

Oh yes!! Getting my classes and IDs mixed up. But why is the unordered list not selected after the class like this?;

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

}

Haha happens to the best of us :) It's because the unordered list itself has the class .contact-info, like this:

<ul class="contact-info">
  ...
</ul>

The way you had it is trying to target something like this in the HTML:

<div class="contact-info">
  <ul>
    ...
  </ul>
</div>
