Showing the hint after getting the student got it right is not necessary a 
bad thing if the hint is well written. However, for most part, not show it 
is better.

A separate Q. CAPA allows the user to set the number of tries before a hint 
is shown. I have a number of users who wanted that feature. Old habits die
