@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
#gallery li {
width: 28.3333%;
}
gallery li:nth-child(4) {

The above CSS rule is coming up with the Bummer! message:
"Did you set 'clear: left' on every fourth gallery list item?"
Can someone help me out with this problem?
Thanks! :)

Courses Plus Student 11,734 PointsHi Warren,
You are missing out the 'n' in the nth-child. Your code should look something like this:
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
#gallery li {
width: 28.3333%;
}
#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
clear: left;
}
}
Hope this helps.
