How do I move on? I am pretty sure I am answering the question correctly but it won't let me advance.

Please tell me what I am doing incorrectly.

Hi Karen, I believe you need to add "square" and "Circle" inside the <li> tags nested inside the <ol> tags

 <ol>
      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
    </ol>
    <ul>
      <li>Shapes
        <ol>
          <li>Square</li>
          <li>Circle</li>
        </ol>  
      </li>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

The challenge hasn't asked me to do that yet.

Did it ask you to add an "ordered list" inside the Shapes list?

Ok, try submitting the code by removing the <li></li> tags inside the <ol></ol> tags nested inside the shapes list

 <ol>
      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
    </ol>
    <ul>
      <li>Shapes
        <ol>
        </ol>  
      </li>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

Tried that as well. I keep getting the message that Task 2 is no longer passing.

try adding the <ul></ul> list under the first <ol> list you created, can you post the code you are submitting?

Move the <ul> list under the <ol> list and see if it will accept your code then. 

 <ol>
      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
  </ol>
  <ul>
      <li>Shapes
        <ol>
        </ol>  
      </li>
      <li>Colors</li>
  </ul>

That didn't work, but I restarted the entire challenge, doing everything exactly the same and it worked. Weird. Thanks for the help!
