Maybe its just me?

I am doing the challenges for the CSS basic structural pseudo classes and on the second challenge it keeps telling me that task 1 is no longer working.

Here is the link for the challenge. http://teamtreehouse.com/library/websites/css-foundations-2/selectors-reshoot/basic-structural-pseudoclasses-2

My code is as follows

li:last-child {
    color: white;
    background-color: black;
    border: none;
}

Am I crazy? Or am I not seeing something

Hi Ted Moxon,

The code challenge asks for 2 specific CSS rules. You'll need to keep the :first-child rule from the previous task, then add the :last-child rule.

Looking at the second challenge, it's only asking you to set the border to none. Your code does a few other things (i.e. sets color and background-color) besides setting the border to none. Try removing those extra options. I applied the code below for the second challenge and it accepted it:

li:last-child { border:none; }

I have tried that. I keep getting the error "Oops looks like task 1 is no longer passing. No matter what I do.

OOOHHHH!! Ok I misread the question then. I thought I was supposed to change it for last-child.

Thank you.
