There is no right answer.
The phrase "There is no right answer." is too wordy and thus open to shaky interpretation.
I say "[Correct answer.
There is a solution given by authority.
An authority guarantees the correctness of the solution.
A solution that is useful but not accepted by an authority is not considered to be a correct solution

No right answer" is the opposite situation.
No one gives me a solution.
No one can guarantee the correctness of the solution.
In light of this, the phrase "there is no correct answer" can be supplemented with "there is no solution that is guaranteed to be correct by an authority.

What is correctness?
Related to this is also "There is always a solution to a question that can be arrived at within the test time.
