1,401 PointsCode is clearly correct but will not pass the code challenge. Progress is stuck. . .
The system is asking me to change font size to 0.9em. My code as follows:
.contact-info ul { font-size: 0.9em; padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; }
As far as I can tell, this is absolutely correct and the system simply says "Remember to change your font size to 0.9em." If my code is wrong, please let me know where I am off. I would like to get on with further learnings.

28,149 PointsActually, your selector is not correct.
It says to select the unordered list with a class of contact-info
You are selecting an unordered list that is a child of an element with the class of contact-info
To visualize the HTML, it would be something like
<ul class="contact-info">
<li>Item One</li>
<li>Item Two</li>
</ul>
however your selector would select something like this
<div class="contact-info">
<ul>
<li>Item One</li>
<li>Item Two</li>
</ul>
</div>
Hope that makes sense and that gives you enough info to fix your answer.

1,401 PointsThat makes absolute sense. I somehow got the logic backwards in my head ;p Thank you so much for clearing that up, don't know why it stopped me like it did. I am back on the forward track :)

28,149 PointsNo problem Jason. Glad that was enough info for you got it figured out.
Another possible selector could have been
ul.contact-info
which would select only unordered lists with a class of "contact-info", which could be useful if another element like a div had the same class-name, but generally its not necessary to do so, and considered best practice not to do so unless you have a specific reason.
