Traditionally, philosophers are _eating_ spaghetti, they are 5 and
they only have 4 forks.  If they want to drink something at the same
time, they only need their hands, which can not be a sharable
ressource.  So there is no problem, or am I wrong ?

"do your assignment" is the traditional answer you get in these
forums.  If you want more, you should either post clever questions,
either post wrong affirmations (from the c.p. faq).
