13th Edition review

Is number 5 wrong on the archer? It is showing the cylinder tank is filled to 4ft not 2 as listed in the book.

What am i missing?

Hey Veronica,
Yes, this is an incredibly annoying problem. I have compared notes with students, and it appears that on some editions of the OG the tank is listed as having been filled to four feet, and some editions show that it is filled to two feet. Just cross out the 2 in your book and put 4, and work the problem that way (for the purposes of matching the Archer). Sorry for the confusion!
