Advise on how to pursue a problem but it's not an answer that would
get credit in itself.

You might ask a mechanic, a painter, or a carpenter how to do
something and get free advise, but they aren't likely to take the
dents out of your car, blueprint the engine, paint your house, and
build on an addition for free -- that's work.

As far as the advice to get extra credit for how he got his
answer, I think Norm was being facetious with the extra credit.
He knows darn well a student isn't going to tell the teacher they
tried to have someone else do their homework.
