## Description
<section id='description'>
  Since Bootstrap's <code>col-xs-*</code> classes are applicable to all <code>form</code> elements, you can use them on your checkboxes too! This way, the checkboxes will be evenly spread out across the page, regardless of how wide the screen resolution is.
</section>

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Nest all three of your checkboxes in a <code>&#60;div class="row"&#62;</code> element. Then nest each of them in a <code>&#60;div class="col-xs-4"&#62;</code> element.
</section>

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: Nest all of your checkboxes inside one <code>div</code> with the class <code>row</code>.
    testString: assert($("div.row:has(input[type=\"checkbox\"])").length > 0);
  - text: Nest each of your checkboxes inside its own <code>div</code> with the class <code>col-xs-4</code>.
    testString: assert($("div.col-xs-4:has(input[type=\"checkbox\"])").length > 2);
  - text: Make sure each of your <code>div</code> elements has a closing tag.
    testString: assert(code.match(/<\/div>/g) && code.match(/<div/g) && code.match(/<\/div>/g).length === code.match(/<div/g).length);
