Confusing question

"In an ecommerce database there's an orders table with the columns id, product_id, user_id, address_id, ordered_on, status and cost.

"Count the total number of orders that have the status of shipped today. Alias it to shipped_today."

I think the database in this question should have a shipped_on field, as I found the existing question misleading.

:point_right: I found this one a bit confusing myself.

If I recall correctly, I solved it after I mentally substituted this for the second sentence of the instructions:

Count the total number of orders placed today that have the status of shipped.

You might also want to report this as a bug using the Support page.
