I'm not sure what I am doing wrong with this answer. Can someone please help?
The task states: 'Add a new method named ReverseNumbers that has a return type of IEnumerable<int> and uses a LINQ query to return the _numbers variable in reverse order.'
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
public class NumberAnalysis
{
private List<int> _numbers;
public NumberAnalysis()
{
_numbers = new List<int> { 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 };
}
public IEnumerable<int> NumbersGreaterThanFive()
{
return _numbers.Where(n => n > 5);
}
public IEnumerable<int> ReverseNumbers()
{
return _numbers.OrderByDescending(n => n < 10);
}
}
}

There's no need to compare the number to 10 (or to anything, for that matter).
Unlike the .Where() method which uses a function returning a boolean as an argument, the .OrderByDescending() method uses a function that simply returns a key.
