Why am I getting a message to be sure the font-size is set to 0.9em?

I added the following in the quiz/challenge but it keeps telling to be sure the font-size for the .contact-info ul is set to 0.9em. I'm pretty sure this is correct. Can anyone help here?

css/main.css 
.contact-info ul {
  font-size: 0.9em;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}


a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

.contact-info ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  font-size: 0.9em;
}

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
  max-width: 150px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

I realize you've asked the question a while ago, but... The challenge wants you to set the unordered list with the class "contact-info," so all you need in the CSS is .contact-info (nothing more, as the UL has it's own class), then clear the margins, padding, and text-decoration.

You're code will look like this:

.contact-info {
  font-size: 0.9em;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

Hope that clears it up for you. Keep Coding! :)

The challenge asks you to set the font-size for the unordered list with a class of contact-info. If your selector is .contact-info ul you are targeting the unordered list element(s) that is/are a child of an element with the class contact-info. To target the ul that has a class of contact-info you do:

ul.contact-info { }

actually, the ul is already classed as "contact-info" so no delimiter is needed. it should just say .contact-info { list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; font-size: 0.9em;

}

Thanks.
