Courses Plus Student 584 Points'Finding your Breakpoint'
This is more to the Team TreeHouse staff, I don't know if they really look at the forums much but here it goes.
After struggling through the Fluid Layout course (and I say struggling because there were two sections which were not explained in the videos that were asked of us in the code challenges and I had to go searching around the net for), I got to the Adaptive Design portion. For the quiz about Break Points, I found that every question posed on the quiz was an unfair trick question.
What is the standard breakpoint of an iPad/iPhone with retina display? The answers it gives have both have 768 and 1024 AS SEPERATE ANSWERS, well are you talking about landscape or portrait? I got these questions wrong because it didn't specify and the videos didn't tell me which one specifically to use. "Should you not include specific important data when adapting to different sizes?" Well again, that DEPENDS. The videos tell us that you should keep the information if it's important, but when I answered False it came up with an incorrect answer.
Seriously, this is frustrating and not fair. I know I sound like I'm whining, I'm not, I'm not asking for the answers to be given to me but at the same time, these trick questions are infuriating.

39,199 PointsI couldn't help but notice that you went straight from the Build a Basic Website course to the Build a Responsive Website course, this skips over several foundational courses.
To view the order in which these were designed to be taken, look at the Learn HTML & CSS Learning Adventure

3,174 PointsCame here looking for help on where I was stuck and I have done exactly the same as Brianna it seems. No wonder I've found the '..Responsive..' section a little tough to get to grips with! In fairness it was the next suggested step when I completed the '...Basic...' section.
I shall stick to the Adventure trail. Thanks!
