Thanks Mattais, I certainly appreciate this list being so responsive and helpful. And I definitely wouldn't post guesses asking for the answer, since I'm spending my own time to really learn the material, not just pass a course.
It's just a less efficient workflow to post my solutions to the list asking for feedback, vs being able to quickly click, compare mine to the correct one, and move on. Instant feedback speeds up the Read->Code->Understand loop. Having already worked through The Little Schemer, I'm getting most of HTDP's exercises right so far, at least in terms of them working in DrRacket and returning correct answers. But there are usually variations on how the program can be correctly written, and that's what I was hoping to be able to check against the authors' solutions.
