Consider the intersection shown in the figure below. A B Cars arrive at the intersection along the roads marked A, B, and C, and proceed to take a left or a right turn. Thus Car A taking a right turn goes to road B and taking a left turn goes to road C, etc. The intersection has no traffic light or any other traffic control signs. Each car knows the road it is on and the turn it wants to take. Cars along each road come in one at a time and execute a procedure LEFT or RIGHT to go left or right respectively, passing the identity of the road it is coming from as an argument. (Thus car coming on road B and wanting to take a left will execute LEFT(B)). A. Design the procedures LEFT and RIGHT using semaphores. The correct solution should support maximal parallelism, assure that no deadlocks occur, and there is no starvation. Of course there should be no collisions of the cars. B. How many semaphore variables does your solution require and why?

The Science of Computing Mystery Mania Six men: Bill Fox, Tom Smith, Robert Stevenson, Fred Edison, Larry Davis, and John Harrison were in a library together. Suddenly, the lights went out. When the lights came back on, Bill Fox was found shot. The other detectives have investigated; questioned the suspects, the witnesses, and people who know the suspects; and have collected physical evidence from the crime scene. They have collected 14 clues but have not been able to solve the crime. It's now up to you. Note that no two suspects have the same height, color car, color umbrella, color shirt, or color shoes. The clues: • John Harrison owns a purple car Tom Smith is 5'3" tall • The suspect who was wearing a yellow shirt owns a red car The suspect who is 5'6" tall was wearing a blue shirt • The suspect who owns a red car is 6'3" tall • The suspect who was carrying a yellow umbrella is not the one who owns a green car • The suspect who is 6' tall is not the one who was wearing a black shirt…
