I went through the challenge and this was the CSS that got me to pass the challenge. It looked pretty okay to me in the preview. 

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

/*Challenge one*/

.footer-nav {
    float: left;
}
.logo {
    float: right;
}

/*challenge two*/

.footer-nav li {
    float: left;
}

/*challenge four*/

.copyright {
    clear: both;
}

.clearfix::after {
  content: "";
  display: table;
  clear: both;
}

the third challenge was just adding a class to the footer tag. Not too much there to explain.
