when you select the main-nav you have to make sure your selecting the list

.main-logo { float: left; }

.main-nav li{ float: left; }

For anyone else that comes across this, there was a bug where it rejected this particular answer:

.main-logo { float: left; } .main-nav li { float: left; }

but accepted:

.main-logo, .main-nav li { float: left }

I believe both should do the same thing, but it simply wants you to combine them together.
