In circumstances such as those, I think education is the way forwards. Keep getting them to think about what they are trying to achieve, and to give them the relevant problem solving skills to find their answers, if not, then the necessary skills to properly formulate their question in a way that is helpful to the CP community to allow us to help them.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare
