I believe that there are several PRACTICE problems in the COMPARING ABSOLUTE VALUES module that may be wrong. Isn't the absolute value of -6 greater than the absolute value of 5? The questions seem to mix and match absolute value questions and answers with real value questions and answers. I may have this all wrong but that is the way it appears to me. Hey I also want to say thank you for such an awesome site. I have learned and remembered a lot since I came a few days ago.
