Add the following list items to the ordered list: "Stop", "Drop", and "Roll".

I tried different thinks that according to me is correct. Seems like I don't understand the task.

Hi Jerome,

I think the task is to add the 3 list items to the 2nd ordered list <ol> in your code, the one with a comment "Write your code below", and not the first list.

No, that is not it. Same answer: "Bummer! Your unordered list has too many list items. Try removing some."

Problem is I am not even using an unordered list.

I quickly checked the challenge, and the second list asked to do is an unordered list indeed. Try that ?

I can copy my code here if you want, but I'd rather let you succeed by yourself ;-)

I am adding the following code to the ordered list and I am getting the message : Bummer! The first list item should be "Stop"

This doesn't make sense as "Stop" is the first in the list. <ul> <li>Stop</li> <li>Drop</li> <li>Roll</li> </ul>
