I know this won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I had fun doing it. Hopefully a few of you will enjoy.

Would you believe that even though Computer Science was half of my major, I never actually studied the dining philosophers problem?

Nevertheless, I enjoyed your creative solutions and puns. Especially in the first part. Well done.

My wife had that "Dining Philosophers" thing in one of her IT management classes and asked me to help since I had had philosophy and logic classes (and I know my way around the dinner table). My first thought was, "Let the philosophers starve! Why should we help these bozos?!"

The biggest philosophical problem of all, of course, is how to make money out of such an impractical field.
