Sass post-selector trouble

In this Sass code challenge, I'm trying to make the a within the p within the .footer purple using the ampersand post selector, but something's not adding up. Help!

/* Write your SCSS code below. */

p {
    a {
    .footer & {
        /* Trouble area right here, */
        color: purple;
    }
    color: red;
  }
  > a {
    color: blue;
    &:hover {
        opacity: 0.5
    }
  }
}

    color: blue;
  &:hover{
    opacity: 0.5;
  }
  div.footer & {
        color: purple;
    }
}
}
