Nth-child selectors

The challange mentiones that I am doing it wrong, but I cannot see why:

CHALLENGE: We want three floated images per row. In the media query, create a pseudo-class selector that targets the fourth img child element first, then every third img that follows. Then, add a clear property that clears the left float.

CODE: /* Write the CSS in the media query below */

@media (min-width: 607px) { img { float: left; } img:nth-child(4n+3) { float: clear; }

ANSWER: Bummer! Are you using :nth-child expression that selects the 4th img child first, then every 3rd img?

Hello Robert!

Notice that in your code u have used :nth-child(4n+3) this means you are selecting every 4th img, starting from the 3rd... change your code to be as follows:

@media (min-width: 607px) {
  img {
    float: left;
  }
  img:nth-child(3n+4) {
    float: clear;
  }
}

Change the code from ':nth-child(4n+3)' to ':nth-child(3n+4)'. By 3n+4, you are selecting every 3rd img starting form the 4th.

Happy Coding!
