give an intern a solution and you feed him for a day; teach an intern to startpage/ddg/google and you feed him for a lifetime

wowotek58275y@JoshBent i don't think so dude. or at least it's not applicable for this particular intern.
like, if you think about it, my intern came from IT Major, how can they don't know (how to) google -
@wowotek I never heard a major that teaches you how to google, it's not a thing in your DNA.

The question takes seconds to ask. The actual solution could take hours of understanding and days of work.
Give him an idea what to look into to find the answer. If he goes deep and gets a good understanding then he will do well, otherwise he will just learn exactly what he's told and not be a successful intern.
You might completely understand the idea and can summarise it in a search but what do you search for when you don't know what you need to know?
