A question about "only"

Hi!

Suppose I ask someone to answer a question. I just want the answer to the question. I don't care how they get the answer. Should I say

1. Give me the answer only; or

2. Give me only the answer?

Are both sentences OK?

Thanks!

Either one is OK. You might add "please". It's rude to give commands to others without adding "please".
