Description

One of the students taking the HTC course on edx said this:

That feeling when you've forgotten to remove the #; and uncomment your code, causing your code to run off of the stub during testing for the past two hours and driving you insane during debugging the sudoku solver.

#lang htdp/bsl does fade it out correctly though, just that the menu based ones do not.
