For this challenge try following:

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

Hello Livvy,

Check your curly braces. If you eliminate the one curly brace under the first #gallery id selector it should fix this problem.

You have duplicate calls to the same media query and your nth-child pseudo class is not within the media query at all, let's look at how that can be addressed:

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

You are actually on the right track, you just need to make sure that you keep a close eye on your closing brackets, especially in media queries, since you are nesting CSS within them. Give that a try and it should solve your problem.
