2,820 PointsI believe I have entered the correct code, but the checker is telling me that it's incorrect. What do I do?
The checker is telling me there is an error in my CSS code, but I can't see it. It is supposed to clear every 4th gallery list item using the "nth child" property. Can somebody tell me where I went wrong?

You are so close with that code! You just have a tiny misspelling in your nth child pseudo element. It should be "nth-child" (with a dash) instead of "nth child".
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
#gallery li {
width: 28.3333%;
}
/* changed to nth-child */
#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
clear: left;
}
}
