It will not let me pass on task 2 of 4 for this challenge - task 1 passed fine, task 2 asks "Create a new rule that targets the 3rd list item only. Set the background color to the HEX value FF6347."
So i add my css rule (which adds to the previous tasks rule)
li:nth-child(even) {
color: white;
background-color:black;
}
li:nthchild(3) {
background-color: #ff6347;
}
Any idea on how to get past it?
Thanks

You have simply missed typed the nth-child (you've missed the dash)
li:nth-child(3) { background-color: #ff6347; }
should work.
Kind Regards,
Darren.
