That is correct. Next time @Keeli_Grace , it is better to try to help people find the answer than just give it.

@bek_love  I understand what you are saying. But sometimes people need help with a question quickly. And I don't know about this particular person, but a lot of people I have found to be too ignorant to figure it out for themselves. I do quite a bit of testing online, and I often use Openstudy to help me figure out a question I am not sure of, and whilst doing said testing, I need my answer quickly. I am not sure if this was the case, but I have found it easier and sometimes more helpful for me to just answer the question instead of them taking the unnecessary time out of their day to figure it out. Though I consider knowledge quite valuable, I still believe that some things just aren't worth the time.

Your right sometimes you are helping a person and you have to wonder if they are in fourth grade but you should still make the effort to explain first. "And I don't know about this particular person, but a lot of people I have found to be too ignorant to figure it out for themselves. " If you didn't know anything about what he was asking maybe just skip it. Also you might want to check out the CoC before just giving answers to save time. I am not saying that I never just give the answer but I do make a real effort to explain first.

Again, I understand where you are coming from. But a lot of people just ask if they want help explaining it. Either that or they actually look it up themselves. Google, Yahoo, Wikipedia, they're all very useful sites, and they are also easy to navigate and free to use. It's sad that some people don't know that.
