SQL ordering challenge

I feel like I am very close to getting this challenge, but I'm still doing something wrong. Here is the link to the challenge: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/reporting-with-sql/ordering-limiting-and-paging-results/paging-through-results-2. And here is my code so far: 

SELECT * FROM phone_book ORDER BY last_name ASC, first_name ASC LIMIT 20 OFFSET 20;

You almost have it. The challenge says to "...retrieve the 3rd page of results...", but the offset you have now gives you the 2nd page.

:point_right: Try doubling your offset.

Ah, thank you so much! I was unconsciously thinking that "3rd page" had something to do with it, but I wasn't sure what.
