RMON Absolute or Delta ?

When configuring RMON you need to choose between Absolute or Delta. I
pick the wrong one about half the time, (might be better off just
flipping a coin).

The way I remember which does what:
Delta = Difference
Absolute = Fixed number

Task:
The network administrator has requested that R1 log an event when the
interface input octets value reaches 45000 per minute and when the value
falls back below 35000 per minute.

In my mind these are absolute numbers (45000 & 35000) But the solution
calls for Delta.

I need help understanding when to use Absolute and when to use Delta.
