Task 4 of 4 - I didn't get it what I'm doing wrong

Hey buddies! In the task of 4/4 I spend more than half an hour and I still didn't get it what I'm doing wrong. My scss code below: p { a { color: red; .footer & { color: purple; } } > a { color: blue; &:hover { opacity: 0.5; } } }

The outputted CSS: p a { color: red; } .footer p a { color: purple; } p > a { color: blue; } p > a:hover { opacity: 0.5; }

It seems to be right for me. Does anyone can point out what's wrong?

Thanks! ;)

        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>.

You need to target the div with the class footer

p {
    a {
    color: red;
        div.footer &{ color:purple; }
        }
    & > a {
       color: blue;
           &:hover { opacity: 0.5; }  
         }  
}
