It would be nice if the answers with the explanation for the correct one can be seen when the question is revisited, after answering (whether correctly or incorrectly).
There is a link for discussion but this does not have the correct answer or explanation. I revisit the questions very often after answering and will greatly appreciate if this option is available.
Regards,
Vani

Thanks for the note and we'll take a look at this.

We currently republish the books (or were), so that was one of the early design decisions for this. Not sure if we'll change things.

Great idea. I would like to further suggest that the daily newsletter no longer provide the answer to yesterdays question. It might lead to some odd behavior for point hungry individuals. It would be better to encourage individuals to attempt each question on their own and to only discover the correct answer after guessing themselves. If I really want to know the answer to a question I must research the answer and make my best guess or if I choose to be lazy I could randomly pick an answer and the correct reply will be revealed. Checking the newsletter for the answer should not be an option. The newletter should stll show todays question.

We'll see, but this is really a fun exercise. If someone really wants to cheat, they'll do it and get the points.

Enjoy the QOD, use it for what it's worth to you personally.

In which case points should be alloted only for the posters who answer the questions before the answer is out, i.e. if a member answers the question correctly and within the time the next question is asked he should get points. There is no point answering questions just to get points, it should be more towards gaining knowledge that would help them in due coarse of their work.
