Ok around 7:22 he says add a left/right padding of 50px.
He then shows the final product and describes how the div has increased its width by 60px because we added an additional 30px of padding.
Is it just me or does this seem to be completely incorrect? Weren't we just discussing 50px? Shouldn't the width now be increased by 100px?

In his example, at 7:22 Guil increased the padding on the left side from 20px to 50px and the padding on the right side from 20px to 50px. This means that 30px were added to padding-left and 30px were added to padding-right. Hence, a total of 60px of padding were added to the element.

No we were discussing an increase from 20px to 50px not an increase of 50px
A quote from the transcript at time index 7:22:
> Let's go ahead and increase the left and right padding of our div to 50 pixels on each side.
