I found out that I was calculating net potential but I'm supposed to find min pot 'difference'. So I'm supposed to subtract, not add. But my answer is still incorrect when I subtract the anode's value from the cathode's value.

I remember a teacher of mine saying that some books they used the formula anode-cathode (oxidation-reduction), but there are also some books that used the formula cathode+anode ( reduction+oxidation). I do not know how far true is it,but we did used both formulas back in school and it worked out well, depending on the questions.
I hope I could help you out with this.

Sometimes the answer key is wrong. Are there any exceptions to standard conditions?
