Sass Code Challenge: Working with media queries

I'm not sure why my code is not working here, the challenge is:

Write a media directive for "screen" media with orientation "landscape". Within the directive, set the "width" attribute for all image tags to 360px.

    @media screen (orientation:landscape) {
    img {
    width: 360px;
  }
}

I keep getting this error: Bummer! The img width should be set to 360px.

Are you missing an "and"

@media screen and (orientation:landscape) {}

Challenge task 2 of 2: “Open a scope with the ID "menu" (...)”

The following worked for me:

@media screen and (orientation:landscape) {
    img {
    width: 360px;
  }
}

ul#menu {
    li {
    @media screen and (max-width: 500px) {
        text-align: center;
    }
  }
}

You have written the class-selector .menu instead of the id-selector #menu.

I found this link provided a great explanation on the use of the "and" keyword in Task 1 of the Code Challenge- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Media_queries

I get another error: "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing." A bug I suppose..

img {
    @media screen and (orientation:landscape) {
    width: 360px;
    }
}

ul .menu {
    li {
    @media screen and (max-width: 500px) {
        text-align-center;
    }
  }
}

ARG, the markdown editor doesn't work either!
