Can someone explain why this is "marked" wrong. I am to nest an ordered list under the "Shapes" item. Thank you.

It seems you haven't wrapped the list item around your ordered list.... Please see below :)
<ol>
<li>Stop</li>
<li>Drop</li>
<li>Roll</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Shapes<!-- Open Wrapper For Nesting ol -->
<ol>
<li>Square</li>
<li>Circle</li>
</ol>
</li><!-- Close Wrapper For Nesting ol -->
<li>Colors</li>
</ul>
Hope this helps! it should work it passed the code challenge :) Craig

Hope this helps :)
