As far as I am concerned if you don’t know how to do something, research the problem and find the answer the Games have served their purpose. You’ve learned a new technique and the PowerShell community is strengthened.
My caveat to that is that if you do research a problem and find an answer please credit the original author. It helps lead others to the author and again strengthens the community.
In the last Games one of my blog posts was used as part of the answer by a number of people. Most people were kind enough to credit me with the original.
In a nutshell – if you need to search for an answer and find it then by all means use it but give the credit.
