Hi, i want to know why in this level, we use

> friends = hero.findFriends()

but not

> friends = hero.findByType(“reindeer”)

and i tried the findByType, it didn’t work. So why? i thought hero.findFriends() will find the herder Merek too. Thank you.

maybe because the reindeer type isn’t reindeer, that’s why the find by type reindeer didn’t work

actually, when i use findByType, Merek calls reindeers, but some of them are wrong.  
He should call the reindeer asleep to awake, but after calling one reindeer asleep, he calls one awake to awake, it is really strange. (i don’t know if i explain clearly:joy:)
