CSS How to Make a Website Responsive Web Design and Testing Refactor the Layout

Not able to pass challenge 2 of 2

Is there a problem with the "check work" validation at this location? (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/refactor-the-layout) I get the results that are expected when I look in "preview" but I am not getting credit for the answer. The message that I receive is: "Bummer! Did you set "clear: left" on every fourth gallery list item?"

My CSS code:

gallery li:nth-child(4) {

clear:left;

}

Suggestions?

Nothing is wrong with the validation I just passed it. Reread the question. It says EVERY 4th item not THE 4th item. I don't want to give you the answer but hopefully this will point you in the right direction.

What David said is correct. As an additional hint, remember the formula :nth-child(an + b). where a represents a cycle size, n is a counter (starts at 0), and b is an offset value.

Thank you! As David mentioned the "EVERY" is the key. The problem is solved.
