Hi Ben Risinger

The challenge asks to wrap text around of the img element to its right side.

So by using float left on the image it will make the text go on the right side.

Like this:

img {
  float: left;
}

this is not the correct answer

This is actually the correct answer. When I typed it in, it finally let me go.

img { float: left; }

Remember. Don't use .img. Just use img. ( No period before "img" }

thank you!

I'm also stumped. .img { float: right; } is not working for me

None of the options above are working. At all.
