The way my professor handled it was what she called the "Gilligan's Island" rubric: if you read a solution online, and after an episode of Gilligan's Island (or substitute whatever show is popular at the moment) you can still implement the solution, you learned it, that's your knowledge. If, instead, you're having to refer back to what you read continuously as you write your solution, that's plagiarism.
