From WP Codex Screenshot Create a screenshot for your theme. The screenshot should be named screenshot.png, and should be placed in the top level directory. The screenshot should accurately show the theme design and saved in PNG format. The recommended image size is 880x660. The screenshot will only be shown as 387x290, but the over double-sized image allows for high-resolution viewing on HiDPI displays.
So why is neither 387x290 or 880x660 an option in your quiz

Zac Gordon has mentioned this on his site here: http://wp.zacgordon.com/the-correct-size-for-a-wordpress-theme-screenshot-is-600x450/
Good catch though! Hopefully the folks will have an opportunity to add an update to the video and quiz.

March 2013, I'm sure 3.8 was not even out then, we are now at version 3.9 it should be up to date or omitted in any case I just think it is important when you are showing people things to have them learning the right way.

Treehouse Guest TeacherHey Lewis Cowles I'll be back in the studio to reshoot this entire project quite soon. There is one other older course (making a blog) that needs to get redone first. I agree though and part of our work is to continually revisit projects. Will get done soon! Thanks Rhys Yorke in the meantime. The best we can do is make sure at least all of the questions to quizzes are accurately answered within the videos so that the answers will still be contextually correct, but there are some things like this that change with big releases like 3.8.
