Top developers do not guess at what code does, they step through it, or add logging, or sit there and step through it mentally until they understand what it is doing. Top developers do not copy/paste code snippets off the web, they use googled code as examples to write their own code that works with the code they are working on. Solving problems based on guesses takes more time than understanding the code. It looks and feels more productive than sitting and thinking. There is nothing wrong with somebody providing an answer, as long as they can explain the logic or lack of logic behind it. Why have multiple people go and figure something out? Post it on a FAQ on the intranet so everybody understands. If they can't explain the answer, ask to see the data and go through it together. Maybe everybody will learn something. There is nothing wrong with getting things done, as long as they are done in a way that won't get in the way of getting things done in the future.
