This can be done so many ways. I had "mentor" who used to point out a line in the log or a file and just say "This shoud give you a hint." No, it did not. I know it's there, I need you to tell me why it's significant so that I can go from there. Just playing "guess what I'm thinking" wastes time for both of us. If I'm too dumb for you then come down to my level or ask someone else to mentor me. Just being wise mysterious office Yoda just isn't helpful.

Sure from a pedagogical POV you don't want them stuck forever trying to make a leap they can't yet make, but being hand fed answers doesn't really work at making the underlying heuristics and cognitive habits (and sometimes info) stick.
