One of the great things about this game and the fact that there is a site that has the help feature is that it shows that you dont need to guess. However, it would be a great training option if the site just showed you the relevant rule/formula that provided the hint. It would make a great training aid and probably stop a lot of the "I cant figure out why that hint came up" posts......

Seems like it should be 4 lines of code to enable this. Anyone???

Great suggestion!

It's on the todo list (and has been for a while). Unfortunately, because much of the code originates from before the growth and discussion of techniques, there isn't a simple mapping of how it works and how the human brain thinks, so it's not a quick fix. But it will come along eventually.
