" summary

The project solves 353 problems from SICP portably using chibi-scheme, Emacs org‑mode notebooks and tix for figures, records 729 hours total of work with per‑problem timing, and finds a log‑normal difficulty distribution; the hardest problem takes 94 hours. Portability layers and two SRs bridge R7RS gaps, a few GNU Fortran and Scheme bugs get fixed, full solutions and a 70k‑line org file are published and reproducible.
