	<Paragraph><Sentence>During their school concerts, a middle school chorus 
                   stands on a set of platforms. Each platform is higher than the one
 in front of it so the audience can see all the singers in the chorus. 
The first platform, the one closest to the audience, is 6" high. The 5th 
                   platform, the one furthest from the audience, is 22" high. There is 
                   a constant difference in height between each pair of platforms. </Sentence></Paragraph>

        <Paragraph><Sentence>How much taller is the 4th platform than 
                   the 3rd platform?</Sentence>

                                 the 4th platform, but you needed to figure out how much taller it is than the 
                                 3rd platform.  The correct answer is 4 inches. </feedback>
