Dining Philosophers =================== Five philosophers , numbered from 0 to 4 are living in a house where the table is laid for them , each philosopher having its own place in the table. Their only problem - besides those of philosophy - is that the dish served is a very difficult kind of spaghetti , that has to be eaten with two forks. There are two forks next to each plate , so that presents no difficulty , as a consequence , however , no two neighbors may be eating simultaneously.
