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.)
