[racket] HTDP.org solutions access?

What you discover as you get farther through the book is that the
answers sometimes aren't there, because the only people who've taught
those sections don't need them. :-)

If you're stuck or want feedback on a bunch of functions at once, post
a note to the list and often someone will offer to look through your
code so you can send it to them privately. I've done that with a
couple of people, and others have as well. It's a very helpful group.
(Unfortunately, I'm teaching at a really intensive camp at the moment,
so I doubt I'd be able to help much for at least the next few weeks.)
