Yes. If the teacher added hints/solution, a Hint/Solution button will show up under the question.
# For open questions, can I attach a picture of my solution?
Yes, simply click the image icon and select a picture on your phone or take one using the camera.
WARNING
Note: On some devices, attaching a photo directly from the phone camera, rotates it incorrectly. In that case, try taking the photo with the regular Camera app first, and then attach the file in Brainkos by browsing for existing photos.
