It's the old, "Give a man some water" versus "Build a man a well" thing.

I have always hoped to encourage people to reach beyond what I can do.

I doubt that any homework tasks are solved by the list, and if they were

very clever mind to accommodate a third-party solution without
understanding either the problem or the answer.
