Thanks for reporting this @lucyferu, and thank you again for your help everyone.

I took a closer look at the history for the steps mentioned here (13, 20, 32, 66, 71, and 102), and it seems like we can close this.

Steps 13, 20, 71, and 102 all had descriptions with the issue originally mentioned in the OP, and have all been fixed. Now they all assume that the learner has some knowledge of Flexbox from the previous Photo Gallery project.

Steps 32 and 66 don’t need to be fixed. Those steps mention Flexbox or a Flexbox related property, but don’t have the same issue where Flexbox is treated as a new concept.

Step 13 has already a PR dedicated

The others also will need to be changed to not spoon feed flexbox. The hints can probably stay the same, the instructions will need to be less “use thie exact property with this exact value” and more “use flexbox for this purpose”

I wonder if we can expand the scope of this issue or open a new one…

Thank you @lucyferu for the report on the steps that have this issue
