Yes, there does seem to be a mistake in the "answers" to the perspective matching tutorial. Here is why: Camera and target absolute points can be entered, or dolly distances can be entered, but not both. Entering one will override the other. The definition of Dolly is to "pull back" or "push forward" the camera. Obviously this changes it's position, and consequently the numbers for absolute position will change as well. I think, if you type in all the numbers EXCEPT the one for dolly, you will get the image that they want you to wind up with.
