 * That’s not valid syntax for the media query. I assume you’ve taken this from 
   your browser? The browser doesn’t always present things in a syntactically correct
   way. Instead of this bit:
 *     ```
       @media (max-width: 1100px)
       ```
   
 * Write this (with a left brace on the end):
 *     ```
       @media (max-width: 1100px) {
       ```
   
 * And then you have to put a right brace at the end of your code:
 *     ```
       margin: 0px;
       }
       }
       ```
   
 * The entire solution should be this instead:
 *     ```
       @media (max-width: 1100px) {
         .navbar-custom .navbar-nav {
           /* background-color: #21202e; */
           float: none!important;
           margin: 0px;
         }
       }
       ```

 * Yes, I have that from my browser, Chrome. I wanted to replace the color of the
   NAvbar. Unfortunately, your code does not work either. I’m starting to despair

 * What is the solution? If you’re saying there’s a syntax error and the code that
   I suggested didn’t work, I would very much like to know what the solution is.
