everything is correct except the note on the right is confusing. If the syrup is COLD is has to be at the lower line (which would be below the upper line).
If you only use the upper line (hot test line) and test your syrup near the boiling point (say above 205 deg f) then everything is fine. If you test the syrup at any other temp other than HOT you must use the temperature vs. density chart.
