What a circle-jerk.

No one cares about the answer. It's all about the method. Coming up with and sharing creative solutions is the whole point.

Which is exactly why posting the answer is stupid, if people want to discuss solutions without straight up giving it away that's fine, for example I'm happy telling people that to solve problem 495 you can split the number into its prime factors and then use combinatorics of distinct objects (You can google stuff like that and read up).

The issue I have is that if you can't solve the problem by yourself you can't solve the problem and you shouldn't try, you should go back and solve some easier problems and learn in order to get better.
