Continued confusion on whether to include or exclude the Median in calculating where the 1st and 4th stop/start... while in earlier exercises we had to include the median, in this exercise it seems we have to exclude the median... i'm confused.
(BTW this whole section feels too hard compared to the others... every exercise is really 5 exercises in itself, and takes much longer therefore, and chance of error bigger. My son does get the principle, but still is stuck on this section because of a mistake every now and then)
