nth-child selector help - clear: left;

Not sure what I'm missing here. I've tried removing the float property as well but to no avail. Please help :)

style.css 
/* Write the CSS in the media query below */

@media (min-width: 607px) {
  img:nth-child(3n+4) {
    float: left;
    clear: left;
  }
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

Hey David,

The selector for the 1st Task and the selector for the 2nd task are two different selectors. The 1st task wants the img tags selected and floated left. The 2nd task wants certain img tags selected and cleared left, but you seem to have combined both rules into a single selector, thus losing the first rule for all images.

Give it another go with this in mind. :)

:dizzy:

Ah that makes a lot more sense. Setting the float property then clearing it for the nth-child. Thanks!
