Asking about ONE such problem and seeing the solution won't alter the
assignment or the student's understanding of the assignment's matter
very much, if the student has 30 more to do. As such it is harmless.

Unless the kid is in the middle of an exam and posted here
by text'ing on his phone....

If the kid can access sci.math from his mobile, and he's thought of that as a
solution to pass his exams, I'd say he passes trig, should proceed to calculus
asap and should go for a degree in CS.

Even so, it's too much effort for too few points. Such a problem cannot
possibly be worth more than 2-5/100 points on a quiz that has 20 similar
problems.

Still not worth the effort.
