I'm stumped. Haven't I given the last div the "col" class as asked?

I can't see what I'm missing here.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Floats</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="main-wrapper">  
        <header class="main-header group">
            <h1 class="main-logo"><a href="#">My Work</a></h1>
            <ul class="main-nav">
                <li><a href="#">Design</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Coding</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Writing</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Hire Me!</a></li>
            </ul>
        </header>
        <div class="primary col">
            <h1>I'm a Designer</h1>
            <p>I design beautiful user interfaces, then bring them to life with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I love including personal photographs of nature, people and everyday things in my designs.</p>
            <p>If you need a front-end designer for your next project, <a href="#">take a look at my work</a>, then <a href="#">get in touch</a>!</p>
        </div>
        <div class="secondary col">
            <h2>I Also Write</h2>
            <p>I like teaching others about the latest web in technology. So when I'm not designing or coding websites &amp; apps, you'll find me writing <a href="#">articles for my blog</a>.</p>
        </div>
        <div class="col">
      <h3>My Content</h3>
      <p>This is my paragraph.</p>  
        </div>
    </div>
</body>

Hi Maery! It looks good, however it seems you may have a bracket going the wrong direction in the first block of your css. Also, I believe you just need to float your new "col" class to the left. Like this:

.main-logo,
.main-nav li {
    float: left;
  }                       /*   this one was a "{" instead of a "}"  */

.col {
  float: left;
}

If that isn't the fix you needed, try adding back the "extra" class on that last div. Maybe the quiz-checker is getting confused because you replaced the class on that last div with "col" instead of adding to it ("extra col").

Hope this helps!

Thanks Jakob! Once I added the "extra" back before "col", it worked.

Jakob, I wanted to do that but I didn't see the "Best Answer" button, only "Add Comment" and add Answer. So now my comment is appearing as an Answer and it DOES have the Best Answer button. If you see a way of doing it, let me know...
