Hi Charles,

Your first selector selects the A element and applies a bottom border.
 Your second selector selects the IMG element and does very little
(well, unless you still have the default border given to IMG elements
that are descendants of A elements, in which case it removes its
bottom border).

Unfortunately, the last subject in the selector is the element which
gets styled.  Therefore, you'll have to do something like the
following to make your selector more specific:

.entry-content a.icon {
  border-bottom:none;
}

Does that make sense?
