I thought it worked fine as is, but I guess not!

Wait, why would you need a __set? Isn't it just a getter?

I’m confused about the static part in option E. I don’t recall that being necessary for this kind of situation.

This question feels familiar. I think we might have done a similar one where we had to implement __set for dynamic properties.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about needing to rewrite __get to return a reference. Maybe option D?

I think we need to add a __set method to handle the assignment to $m->d. That seems to make sense based on what we practiced.

I'm not sure about this one. I'll need to review the PHP magic methods and how they work with arrays before I can decide on the best approach.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is B. We need to add an __set method to the class to allow for setting new properties.

Okay, I think I've got it. The issue is that we're trying to access a property that doesn't exist in the $v array, so we need to add a way to handle that.

Wait, this isn't a magic trick question? Darn, and here I was hoping to pull a rabbit out of my hat. Oh well, I'll just go with option B and see if I can make a few galleons appear instead.
