I believe the question says every fourth element?
So that means 4, 8, 12, etc...
SO you need to use 4n instead of 4.

4,180 PointsThank you! I realized that after I posted the question and looked at my code again, and managed to pass.

This specific problem asks that every 4th element in the gallery be cleared left. The problem with your current syntax is that it asks that ONLY the 4th element in the list be cleared left.
So it goes 1, 2, 3, 4(cleared left), 5, 6 ,7 ,8 (not cleared left), 9, etc...
If you use :nth-child(4n) instead it will work since you then ASSIGN it to clear EVERY 4th element instead of just the 4th one.
It then goes 1, 2, 3, 4(cleared left), 5, 6, 7, 8 (cleared left), 9, etc...
Hope this helps. :)
