Hi, 

This is Apolo, I still have question on question2. Because there is only give you the difference between Ian and stilt is 5 feet, but not specifically mentioned either Ian is higher than stilt, or it also could be the stilt higher than Ian. So it could have two answer on these two different method, which I think both 11 and 6 feet are all right.

Hi Apolo. This is for the Fun Math class, correct? Please remember to let us know which is the class you are referring to when you ask for help.

You have a valid point, we assumed that Ian was the shorter one, but it may as well be the other way around (though, can you imagine  a person being $11$ feet tall?!).
