In 1965, Dijkstra posed and solved a synchronization problem he called the
dining philosophers problem. ........ The problem can be stated quite simply
as follows. Five philosophers are seated around a circular table. Each philo
sopher has a plate of spaghetti. The spaghetti is so slippery that a philoso
pher needs two forks to eat it. Between each pair of plates is one fork.
The life of a philosopher consists of alternate periods of eating and think
ing. When a philosopher gets hungry, she tries to acquire her left and right
fork, one at a time, in either order. If successful in acquiring two forks,
she eats for a while, then puts down the forks and continues to think. The
key question is: Can you write a program for each philosopher that does what
it is supposed to do and never gets stuck?
