I'm not entirely sure but I don't think there's a space between nth-child and its parentheses. Try fixing that and see if it passes.

↑ Yes that's it, it's just a syntax error. Remove the space.

Thanks Mikis... I'll try this now.

Thanks a milli

That was exactly right Mikis.... Cool beans.

Thanks a milli

You're setting it to clear the 4th child of every list item in the gallery. Try

#gallery:nth-child(4n) {
    clear: left;
}

No, if I recall correctly, this particular exercise wants you to clear every 4th list item inside of the #gallery container. I think the error was just a typo.

You are correct Mikis. I just checked it out.
