Hello!

Remove the -id from the #menu selector and it will pass.

This is a confusing step because of how it is worded. It appears the selector should have the -id in it. But, this is not the case.
I do not think the div is needed, either. Just the #menu
Keep up the good progress!

#example-id {
  width: 250px;
}

This is potentially confusing I guess.

Here’s a key to CSS selectors:

/* When selecting all elements of a particular element type, use no prefix:
All div elements will have red text */

div {
  color: red;
}

/* When selecting only a specific element by its id attribute, you prefix with a hash:
The element with id="description" will have red text */

#description {
  color: red;
}

/* When selecting all elements which have a specific class attribute, you prefix with a dot:
All elements with class="warning" will have red text */

.warning {
  color: red;
}
