For one thing, he or she probably attends an institution with an 
Academic Integrity code that forbids them asking people to solve their 
homework problems, so you're likely helping someone who is being 
deliberately dishonest from the beginning.

I suspect he or she has access to instructors, teaching assistants, and 
tutors who can spend one-on-one time leading him or her to the right 
insights into solving the problem without actually giving away the whole 
answer. Someone *might* be able to do such a thing online, and IIRC 
someone upthread tried to do so, but face-to-face is usually faster and 
more effective because it's easier to clue in to what's confusing the 
student.

As to your comment upthread that people can gain insight from seeing a 
solution, that may well happen *occasionally* but in my experience 
that's much rarer than a student simply copying the answer and being 
totally unable to cope with similar questions in the future, which is 
the opposite of your intent.
