Nested ordered list within unordered list

<ul>
  <li>Shapes</li>
    <ol>
      <li>An ordered list nested within the shapes unordered list</li>
    </ol>
  <li>Colors</li>
</ul>

Please help! In the HTML deep dive test on lists, the above code isn't passing test for nesting an ordered list within the shapes unordered list. Does anyone know why?

You have closed the shapes <li> tag before the ordered list. The closing </li> tag must be placed after your closing </ol> tag so that the ordered list is nested within it.

No problem, and also a little tip for you, if you find some challenges hard to do. Just copy-paste the question into google and most of the time you will find a treehouse forum link about it :)
