comment  1 Answer  up vote 5 down vote accepted  The answer
should be edited to reflect the correct solution. Usually when
you mark an answer as accepted, the normal tendency is to only
read the answers and most often, you skip the comments (my own
experience, need not be true always). Hence I think the answers
should reflect the correct solution.  The above solution would
be assuming the comments are on the answers given to that
question. However, if the correct answer is discussed in the
comments in question itself, then a new answer should be posted
by the one who gave the answer. If not, then the OP can himself
give the correct answer mentioning the person who gave it in the
comments to really give him due credit.  share|improve this
