Challenge Task, 2 of 2: Am I wrong, or is the quiz?

Hi all,

The challenge is:

"Get the 11th to 30th movie from the movies table. (Again no need to order the results)."

I'm putting in:

select * from movies limit 10 offset 19;

My logic is that I'm starting from the 10th index (starting at 0 gets us to 11 in ten increments) and I'm looking to return 19 results (from the 11th movie to the 30th, inclusive). Where am I going wrong here?

You've got limit and offset mixed up in your query. Your logic is correct, so just swap the numbers in your query... actually you might need limit to be 20, not 19, if you want to include the 11th and 30th rows.

Thanks, Iain! I knew it'd be something tiny like that. Cheers!
