That makes very little sense.

Adding the bento: should have removed all the other items from selection.

It sounds like you are explaining a selector such as *:nth-last-child(4)

it in fact works the way that 'makes very little sense'.

There is a good reason, though, and it's in keeping with the 'nth-of-type' selector logic: there is a selector that works the way you think, called nth-last-of-type[0]

i haven't tested it in actual html/css. I'll do that now. I'll get back to you with my results
