I've tried placing the sass for the purple link in multiple different places to see if the reason it isn't working is because the directions aren't clear about whether or not this exception should refer to all links or just links that are direct children of p, but although the code works I keep failing this stage.
This is the code I have for the purple link, and I currently have it nested under the styles for p a.
.footer & { color: purple; }

I think I originally passed it by nesting it in the direct child selector but I have found that it passes also when it is nested under the a selector which is where your currently have it. So leave it there but you can also try it again under > a to see.
The problem is that you're not being as specific as the code challenge requires. Try div.footer.
That stumped me for a little while.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsI would think that since task 2 and 3 were dealing with the direct child links that we would still be working within that on task 4. But it should pass either way.
