Media Query difficulties

The code challenge is asking me to select the gallery and remove the fourth column. I really think I have the code correct but it keeps rejecting it. Here is my code:

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

any help would be much appreciated! thanks!

Hi Kyle,

Remove the n from (4n) and remove the space between child and (4n).

Jeff

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

It's every 4th list item.

Should be 4n.

4 will select the 4th item only.

This challenge passes with many incorrect answers and the staff is working on it last I heard.

With clear:left you're removing the float from the element. Maybe you mean "display:none;"

"Inside the media query, clear the left side of every 4th list item in the gallery."

That is specifically what the code challenge is asking me to do. I should have initially typed out the whole question haha.

Been awhile since I have done that but have you tried replacing "li" with either "ul" or "ol"? I read that code as selecting the children of an element, and the list items are the children you want to be selecting rather than the parent.
