HTML How to Make a Website Responsive Web Design and Testing Refactor the Layout

On How to Make a Website>Refactor Layout>Objective 2, I'm positive I'm doing everything correctly and I can't continue.

I even went back to the video and there's no difference between my code and the code in the video. I'm sure I'm missing something, but still.

Supposed to be clearing float left on every 4th li in the #gallery element.

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;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

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

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
      max-width: 150px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

.contact-info {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 0.9em;
}

.contact-info a {
  display: block;
  min-height: 20px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 20px 20px;
  padding: 0 0 0 30px;
  margin: 0 0 10px;
}

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {

  #gallery li {
    width: 28.3333%;
   }

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

}

Also, in the video Nick placed an 'n' immediately after the 4 and that was never explained. I've seen it with and without (this example obviously has it without, but neither worked)

You have a simple typo it should be : not .

#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {

}

Happy coding.

Edit: (4) simply targets the 4th child. (4n) targets every 4th child :)

You're welcome, it's the simple things that trip us up the most.

Just keep going, perfection is unattainable, but in its pursuit we can find excellence.
