Honestly, I think the idea is pretty neat. The website looks pretty good and for general answers I think this model may work. That being said, if a university student posted an assignment question on here and then answered that question exactly as on an assignment, that is tantamount to cheating. I know when I was in university(which wasn't too long ago) my professors were on top of plagiarism and such, and tend to watch for these type of things.

With a site like this, it doesn't stay a students best kept secret for long and once the cat is out of the bag its only going to cause trouble for students using it.

That being said, its a pretty good idea, I'd be interested to see how this pans out.
