I have checked my code many many times now, yet my layout doesn't go from 3 to 2 columns when I decrease my screen size?

I have just done what he did in the video but i get 3 columns no matter which size my screen are.

In your examples you are missing the pound sign in front of all your gallery selectors

#gallery { ... }
#gallery li { ... }
#gallery li:nth-child(4) { ... }

my responsive line of code looks as following :-

gallery li {width:28.3333%;}

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

the line of code in my main.css looks like following:-

gallery {

margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style:none;}

gallery li {

float:left;
width:45%;
margin:2.5%;
background-color:#f5f5f5;
color:#bdc3c7;

}
