This challenge is buggy

I placed the correct answer for question 5/6 and it is still saying that I have an error. What is the deal?

Never mind I figured it out. Silly me. Nested code has to be placed inside of the <li> tags... like so

I just redid it and went through just fine.

Do you have code to show us? That can help us see what is wrong with either your code or the challenge.

That should be under Shape. You moved a List Item outside of the Unordered list. I think also it should be "Shapes" but you can double check in the directions.

Nevermind. The ordered list was not properly nested inside of the shapes <li> tag. I have solved it. Thank you for trying!
