Font 0.9em Problem

I am entering this code: .contact-info ul { font-size: 0.9em; margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; }

After checking work, it states "Be sure to set your font size to 0.9em."

Am I doing something wrong here?

Everything is perfect just remove the ul selector as you don't need it.

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

The prompt specifically asked for unordered list; shouldn't it still work even if I put a "ul" in the code?

Technically I think it should, however, I believe it's best practice not to be too specific with CSS selectors as it complicates the cascade.
