Hi Jack,

The key to this one is floating the list to the right (to align the entire 
thing on the right-hand edge) and the individual items to the left (to align 
them vertically, and maintain their order). Something like this should be a 
good start:

ol { background-color: blue; list-style-type: none; float: right; }
li { float: left; }
a { color: white; padding: 4px 0; width: 128px; display: block; text-align: 
center; }
a:hover { background-color: grey; }

And don't switch your ordered list for an unordered list, as suggested in 
another response: the whole point of your initial enquiry is that this list's 
order is significant!

Regards,

- Bobby
