He's just a bit caught up with the first question. Your solution is right.

Uh, I thought it was:

3 + 2(pq + pr + qr) = -1

2(pq + pr + qr) = -4

(pq + pr + qr) = -2

You can't just pull the powers of 2 out the front.

I'll say this once again, I solved it in the complex field, those are the only solutions, there are no real solutions.
