Beth Dolezal’s class at Glover Middle School in Spokane, WA, contributed a correct answer for #293 that wasn’t listed originally! And a BIG thanks to Joshua Yohe, a music theory teacher at his own alma mater, Carnegie Mellon.

To check his program, he found our page of answers, but then he emailed us 3 different mistakes! Thanks to everyone for their contributions.
