Need someone to take a look at this - Quiz says to change the padding of the links to 10px

....so i change the padding of the links to 10px and this is how i'm doing it:

/* Links */ a { background: transparent; border: 0; display: block; float: left; margin: 0; outline: 0; padding: 10px;} width: 33%; }

but it keeps saying i'm wrong and that i'm not following the CSS rule - please help!

Hi your code should be as follows 

a { 
  background: transparent; 
  border: 0;
  display: block; 
  float: left; 
  margin: 0; 
  outline: 0; 
  padding: 10px;
  width: 33%; 
}

Remove the extra } that’s immediately after padding:10px; in you code

Hi Guys! Thanks for your responses - I knew I shouldn't have been adding the curlys after the padding but in a previous quiz it kept saying i was wrong until I put the curly - Example: "Change the margin to 40px auto" so I changed it and it said that I needed to add a curly.

so I changed it to 40px auto;} and it passed me.
