Cannot pass the task 5

Hi, dear all

I placed the ordered list inside the list item "Shapes" as It was required. But I cannot get through this task though it seems pretty obvious. What am I doing wrong?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Lists Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1>HTML Lists Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->
 <ol>
      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
    </ol>
 <ul>
      <li>Shapes</li>
        <ol>
          <li>Stop</li>
          <li>Drop</li>
          <li>Roll</li>
        </ol>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

Hey! You have to place it inside the list item

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

Is the challenge asking you to put the unordered list in between the list items, or inside the shapes list item?

Hi, Gavin

"Add a nested ordered list to the "Shapes" list item"

Then Jesus Mendoza gave you the right answer, I think. :)
