You need to select certain images using the attribute selector syntax element[attribute^="value"]. Note that the ^= means starts with. If you need to look up how to select using other filters try this w3schools page.

If you're stuck, here is my advice: do not insert a space after your img element. You may save many minutes reminding that! :-)

I've been building HTML/CSS websites for over 3 years, and never knew about this type of selectors...

They are AWESOME! Such a great lesson :)
