nth-child question

I can't seem to figure out this task in the Responsive Web Design quiz:

Challenge task 2 of 2 Inside the media query, clear the left side of every 4th list item in the gallery.

I tried these but they are not working. Ideas?

gallery li: nth-child (4n) {

clear: left;

}

and also I tried:

gallery li: nth-child (3n+1) {

clear: left;

}

Hi Maren,

It's expecting the 1st one given that it says to clear every 4th item.

The only problem you have is that you need to remove the space after : and the space after nth-child

Should be #gallery li:nth-child(4n) {

Is gallery an id or a class name perhaps?

I believe 

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

should work. In nth-child, the first number is the starting point, and the second number is the skip value.

  yeah, your code is missing the hash '#' to call the gallery.
