Sass basics challenge... bummer

From:

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/advanced-nesting

What am I missing?

"We want to add an exception for <a> tags that are in the <div> with a class of .footer: those links should be purple. Use the post-selector ampersand to achieve this.

Bummer! Please use the ampersand selector following the selector for the .footer div."

        You know what my favorite restaurant in San Francisco is? The answer is that there are so many great restaurants that I couldn't choose one. But honorable mentions include <a href="#">Mr. Chow's</a>, <a href="#">Live Sushi</a> and <a href="#">Piccino</a>.

Didn't even think of nesting it there and with the div. prefix..
