Hey !

regardless that you typed radiux instead of radius. you actually have to precise the corners to which you want to apply the radius style !

.main-nav li:first-child {
  border: none;
  border-top-left-radius: 5px;
  border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
}

The shorthand version of border-radius looks also valid to me. But I'm not so sure about the border declaration. The syntax for the border shorthand is the following:

border: border-width border-style border-color|initial|inherit;
