Seems to me like a bug in the css combinations challenge

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/css-selectors/selectors-beyond-the-basics/combinators-challenge

In task 2 of the the above link I am being asked:

It looks like we need to decrease the space between h2 elements and the paragraph that immediately follows. Create a new selector that targets p elements that are adjacent siblings of an h2. Then, set the top margin to .5em.

My answer is:

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.main-nav > li {display: inline-block; margin-left: 20px;}

h2 + p {margin-top: 5em;}

I think you're literally just missing a '.' before the 5em, so that it is 0.5em rather than 5em as it is in your code above.

Hope that helps!

Indeed, there should have been a 0 there before the dot... Reported to the Treehouse team.

Hey Ben Aharoni,

The 0 is optional. Some developers prefer to add a leading 0 before the period. This can help you clearly distinguish decimal values from non-decimal values.
