i have installed your rather nice looking bundle in the CTAN directory
info/challenges/AroBend (and in parallel moved Mike's original stuff to
info/challenges/aro-bend, though the old directory name for aro-bend
remains available for the time being).
i've also catalogued the new package. thanks for the upload.
users may view the (meagre) catalogue entry at

around-the-bend – Typeset exercises in TeX, with answers
This is a typeset version of the files of the aro-bend, plus three extra questions (with their answers) that Michael Downes didn't manage to get onto CTAN.
