}
.layer:hover{
  cursor: pointer;

}
.same-row{
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.same-row > div {
  
  flex: 25%; /* or - flex: 0 50% - or - flex-basis: 50% - */
  /*demo*/
  // box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px black;
  // box-shadow: 2.5px 5px rgb(164, 164, 164);
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  margin-top:40px;

Perhaps you'd like to try onClick event in img tag

<img src="codechef.png" alt="" onclick="window.open('https://www.codechef.com/contests')">
