Hit the Nail on the Head

Expression: "hit the nail on the head"

Meaning: Hitting a nail on its head with a hammer is difficult. It requires precision. The expression is used to tell someone that he or she used logic to determine something precisely. He or she deduced the exact answer, not just a close answer or some related information.

Example: we are trying to solve a mystery and you find the answer, so I say, "you hit the nail on the head."
