Lol testing's broken.

maybe he misunderstood the question

I think it might have something to do with the fact that the same array is used for both "sides" of the test.

Here's the breakdown (possibly):

Test.assertSimilar(sortReindeer(testArray), solution(testArray));

So first, do the user's sort on the array, which returns a reference to the array. Then sort using the test's solution, which also returns a reference to the same array. So the code becomes equivalent to:

sortReindeer(testArray);
solution(testArray);
Test.assertSimilar(testArray, testArray);

So I guess anything that returns the original array would pass this test? Maybe?

how could this work?
