What enraged me about CLRS was that none of the exercises included answers. I'm not asking for fully worked-out solutions - just something I can gauge my own work against. ("I got 5. The back of the book says 12. Ok, I must have made a mistake somewhere...") The hostility that the authors direct at people who are looking for a quick sanity check like that fits into your observation that C is a pretentious tool.
