It's a scavenger hunt for SPAM homework.
Now wait a second...

I thought she was quite smart to ask for assistance. A very effective use of the resources she knew she had at hand to make her work go quickly. By asking, she also learned a method to find out any team's data from now on. Merely finding the data once wouldn't have taught her that. (The "teach a person to fish" lesson.)

Moral: Never be afraid to admit your ignorance, and ask someone something. You may just learn something new...

Now if the scavenger hunt specified "no asking someone (i.e. CDF)" in the rules, that's a different story. HOWEVER, if it did not forbid it, tough. Don't try to make it a moral crime just because someone slipped up in rule making (and you didn't think of the strategy first) ...

Honestly, "best at hand resource use" and "using the rules to your best advantage" is in part the essence of getting anything done rapidly in industry, and the world in general.

My advice: If she isn't already on it, add her to your Strategy Team immediately. She's really thinking!

Now that the answers are posted... Let's see how many of your team think to LOOK here for them!
