GMAT_Perfect,

Would you please be so kind to post the ANSWER in your Spoiler? You have many good questions that are posted in many threads but I do not want to subscribe to so many threads. Thank you so much in advance. Good luck with your GMAT journey :)

Not a good idea.
It is better to continue discussion without OA and later disclose the OA.
If initially only people know the OA then generally a good discussion will be missing.

IMO B here.

If the OA is given in advance, very often people become biased to the OA. So, OA should be posted later. I will post the OA's of all the questions.

Thanks.

What's the purpose of hiding OA: Later ? Seems to me that this serves no other purpose than to frustrate the person who moved the cursor over the darkened area?
I'm really old, but I'll never be too old to become more educated.

I realize that responses can be biased towards a disclosed OA, however, when you put "OA: Later" in the Spoiler, it can be frustrating for those whom are striving for practice. Meanwhile, it takes 10^10 subscriptions in the email to finally see the OA to the 10^10 threads.

I have a suggestion: Spoilers should only be used with an OA. If an OA will not be disclosed, then don't use the Spoiler. [Insert Invisible Sticky] :)
