Exercise #1 is based on fashion_mnist.
Exercise #2 is based on mnist.
It's possible that this was unintended. (since the author is requesting for comparision after changing after updating the network somewhat)
Please re-check
It's possible the Exercise#2 was intended to retain dataset as fashion_mnist, and not use mnist instead.
