Task 4 doesn't work

My code is wright, 15px top, 10 px left and right padding on the nav links: nav li { padding: 15px 10px; }

It keeps on saying: Bummer, the top padding must be 15px!

Am I crazy

I ran through the Challenge myself and came up with this code that worked.

What i think you might have misread is the fourth stage asked you to select the <a> elements inside the <li> elements, so your selector should be nav ul li a { //css here }

For a full code example for that challenge see below, Hope this helps!

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}


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

nav ul li {
  display: inline-block;
}

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

#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;
}

Actually it says to select the links inside the nav element.

So using nav a { } will work fine.

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

nav li {
 display: inline-block;
}

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

or is that considered bad practice ?
