Hi,

The text asks to create a new pseudo-class selector that targets the last-child li in .main-nav.

the way you are doing it you are creating the last li child of main nav.

Try creating the last element inside li.

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-nav li:first-child{
 border: none;
  border-radius: 5px 0 0 5px;
}

.main-nav li:last-child{
 border-radius: 0 5px 5px 0; 
}

Try this instead. border radius should be at 5px WHERE SPECIFIED (The second one asks for the top right and bottom right instead). The second prompt only asks you to manipulate border-radius, but you COULD change those values too in practice.
