I keep getting this wrong because i haven't set the top margin to 0, but I keep writing margin-top: 0; and still fail

Can't set the margin to 0!?

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-top: 0px;
  margin-bottom: 0px;
  margin-left: 10px;
  margin-right: 10px;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

Hi Hilary,

I believe the challenge is asking you to select the unordered list element within the nav element. So you need to create an entirely new rule with a new selector in order to set the margin on the list.
