Dining Philosophers Problem
Just shoot the philosophers and take all the food for yourself. They really shouldn''t have been bickering about the silverware in the first place.

But the philosophers use chop sticks not silverware.

WPI is an institude, not a school.
So is MIT, but most people consider both universities since they offer 4 year degrees. A CS degree from a technical school usually carries more weight than one from a liberal arts school.
How about you simply throw in an extra set of chopsticks and let the philosophers deal with that? 
Hell, if they can set up a meeting and order chinese food for 5, they sure as hell can get an other set of chopsticks! Bloody philosophers... messing us up to find a solution to their problem because they are too lazy to do it and just want to go about their own buisness...
Hey, I think there''s a lesson to be learned from all this...

The solution is in every threading book in existence. e.g. Posix Threads on Addison Wesley.
