The original code had 3 platforms, and the first one was located at "300, 100". The instructions tell you to change that location to "300, 200", which would be 100 pixels lower.

But right now, it looks like the original first line has been replaced with two different lines. It would probable be best to start over, and be sure to make only the changes asked for in the instructions.
