LINQ Method Cyntax 2/2

I don't think I'm using the correct query as I've had this error:

The first number in the result of your 'ReverseNumbers' method should be '10', since it's the greatest number, since it's the greatest number in the '_numbers' list.

The code below seems too simple, although I have tried multiple methods such as adding a where clause in the query, but that results in another error

NumberAnalysis.cs 
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 > 5); 
        }
    }
}

It looks like you copied from NumbersGreaterThanFive...

...and then changed "Where" to "OrderByDescending".

So far so good, but then you forgot to remove the "> 5" from the LINQ expression.

Also, "Syntax" is spelled with an "S".
