Mine do so habitually, even when it's obvious there's no need. For
example, if they're trying to break the lock on a typical car door
(rating 2, which they know, too) they'll tell me their rolls were "1, 2,
4, 4, 8 and 19"...

I usually tell them only the result, and if they seem unhappy I ask if
they want to use Karma; if so, I'll tell them which dice to re-roll --
which is not the same as giving away the TN. For example, if the TN is
6, and they roll 1, 2, 4 and 10, I'll say something like "Re-roll the 4
and lower."
