Horizontal List of Links Challenge - Help Needed

Directions say to select the links inside the nav element and set font weight to 800, then set padding on top and bottom to 15 pixels. Then set the padding on the left and right to 10 pixels.

I am stumped. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks to anyone who can offer help!

css/main.css 
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;

nav ul {

  margin-bottom: 0px;
  margin-left: 10px;
  margin-right: 10px;
  text-decoration: none;
  padding: 0 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
  font-weight: 800;
}

nav {
  padding-top: 15px;
  padding-left: 10px;

Since it said in the question to select ALL links inside the nav element, I think it should look like this:

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

With "nav a" you select all "a"-Elements inside the "nav"-Element. And with "padding: 15px 10px" you can assign top and bottom paddings in one line.
