[FIXED] Error in Credit Card Checker Instructions Graphic

Perhaps there is something I am missing, but the diagram for this excercise seems to be wrong:

https://codecademy-content.s3.amazonaws.com/PRO/independent-practice-projects/credit-card-checker/diagrams/cc+validator+diagram+1.svg

In this diagram, step2- the numbers that are calculated come out as follows (shown in the diagram):
8 5 6 9 3 8 7 7 5 0 1 7 9 8

But then when you add them together on the next step (step 3) there are two extra numbers not in that series (9 & 8- 7th and 8th numbers respectively):
8 5 6 9 3 8 9 8 7 7 5 0 1 7 9 8

So, between steps you have 14 numbers which then turn into 16, unexplained. Is there something I am not understanding?

Hello, @romshadow.

Welcome to the forum.

I believe you are correct. That appears to be a mistake. I will submit this as a bug. Thanks for pointing it out!
