Potential bug in Stage 3: Lists/Code HTML Lists Quiz 5 (Nested List)?

Below is my HTML answer to quiz 5, it looks correct in the preview, but comes as something: "too many UL listed items, remove a few" Removed, same error pop up. Wondering what am I doing wrong, or is it a bug? Thanks!

<!-- Write your code below --> <ol> <li>Stop</li> <li>Drop</li> <li>Roll</li>

</ol>

<ul>
  <li>Shapes</li>
  <ul>
    <li>Shapes</li>
    <li>Colors</li>
  </ul>  
  </body>
</html>

You're missing the second closing ul tag.

<ul>
  <li>Shapes</li>
  <ul>
    <li>Shapes</li>
    <li>Colors</li>
  </ul>
</ul>

Thanks, I know. Did it on purpose, as with a closing tag html is not rendering properly. "Try again: Your unordered list has too many list items. Try removing some."

When you have an unordered list within a list you need to make sure the close of that list is after the close of its unordered list.
