The pseudo-class quiz. says the answer to : "What is the negation pseudo class?" Isn't "::not()" ... so what is it?

i have tried ::not(), :not(), :not, ::not ::not(selector) but it says they all wrong .. am I missing something? Am I on the wrong track is there some other negation pseudo class?

Arrgh! : my bad. :not() is the answer and it worked when i tried it again.

It must have been a typo, one that I repeated.

I was so used to typing double colons that I didn't register that not all pseudo classes use double colons.
