```python
friend = self.findNearest(self.findFriends())
loop:
    friendpos = friend.pos
    fx = friendpos.x
    fy = friendpos.y
    if self.now() < 6:
        self.move({'x': fx, 'y': 42})
    if self.now() < 14 and self.now() > 6:
        self.move({'x': fx, 'y': fy + 6})
    if self.now() > 14 and self.now() < 17:
        self.move({'x': fx, 'y': fy + 6})

```

I think you need to line up your code more. What is it saying when you run your code? Basically what error is it producing?

Have you read hints for this level? You are trying to use time as an argument. The logic should time independent. Watch for the nearest friend position only.

All. Only `while` is correct 🙂 Find the offset from the nearest friend by x and y. Then use move to that friend position with those offsets.

You can solve it many ways, however “move tactic” is the simplest one. You can solve it just with one line in while-loop.

Well done for completing the level, but please could you not post working code. It ruins it for others.  
So could you delete it (edit your post and delete the part with the code) and thank you for giving the advice, you can keep that part. It’s just that it’s better to help people understand without telling them the answer.  
Thanks  
Danny
