I've read the documentation and checked against my database and the query is correct, but reporting wrong in the quiz.

SELECT title FROM movies LIMIT 10, 20;

Hi Stephen,

It's looking for you to select everything from the movies database rather than the title only.

I think the question is asking for a different result set:

Get the 11th-30 movie from the movies table (or something like that.)

So you need any movies from the movie table, and you need a total of 20.

To get any movies:

SELECT * FROM movies

and you only want 20 total movies, so let's add to that query:

SELECT * FROM movies LIMIT 20

Finally, since we want the 11th-30th, we're going forget about the first 10.

SELECT * FROM movies LIMIT 20 OFFSET 10
