 In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dining_philosophers_problem dining philosopers] a number of philosophers (five, in our example) are seated at a round table. On the table are five plates of food, one in front of each philosopher, and five forks, one between each adjacent pair of plates. So each philosopher has a plate in front of him and a fork to his left and a fork to his right.
 
-The philosophers spend all their time in either of only two states: they are thinking or they are eating. The philosophers may be brilliant thinkers, but apparently manual dexterity is not their strong suit. This is evidenced by the fact that in order to eat, any philosopher must be able to pick up both of the forks positioned next to his plate (which he can do, so long as the philosopher next to him is not currently eating). So, while eating he must have possession of both forks, and while thinking, he has put down any forks that he had previously used. Therefore, any particular philosopher has the opportunity to eat only when the two philosophers on either side of him are thinking and have made their forks available.

 Apart from any negative consequences from the questionable sanitary practices described above, the dining philosophers can, in improperly designed solutions, encounter problems related to concurrency. For example, if all philosophers were to pick up the fork to their right and then wait for the fork to their left to become available (or vice versa), the philosophers would be caught in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadlock deadlock]. If, because of a lack of fairness in the solution, some of the philosophers get stuck in thinking mode because they can never secure the two forks necessary to eat, then those philosophers so affected would suffer a condition known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_starvation resource starvation].
