Others, including at least one poster in this thread, think that tests are just about useless so it does no harm to supply the answers....

Chuck, there is a third position which I would take, and NevadaRef has already taken, which is to let the questioner look up the answers for himself, but give him a boost in the correct direction by giving references. I think this answers both concerns and is the most helpful in every direction: He'll be able to do better on the test, because he will have LEARNED something, which will also be useful later.
