It would be very nice if there were answers (and explanations) to the
book's questions.

I purchased the book as a on-the-job resource, both to help job-train
my employees on multicore development, and also as a reference for
various multicore design patterns. To increase the value for non-
academic readers, please give some way to check our answers to at
least some (if not all) questions. For example, the prisoner red-blue
hat question in the first or second chapter of the book, I have not
been able to come up with a satisfactory answer on my own.

Also FYI: as a professional c# developer, I feel this is the best
multicore "teaching" reference I've come across.

by the way, i just opened the book and found that red-blue hat
question, and reading it again I see the answer is trivial (i misread
the first time: thought it started at the FRONT of the line)

But my point isnt how I should pay more attention to what I read :)
Please consider how readers outside of the halls of academia use the
book, and how to provide better usability (answers to questions!)

Thank you,

I have tried to resolve some of the questions in the first chapters.
Some of them really need some hard thinks. I suggest that who is
interested in these questions can put their own answers here, so that
we can discuss all together. But I will be very pleased to hear some
suggestions or hints from the authors.

We are working on a complete set of solutions and are about 60% done.
If you're dying to know the solution to a particular exercise, then
send me (not the group) email, and I'll send you the solution provided
(1) we have written it up, and (2) I don't suspect you of being a
deadbeat undergraduate working on a homework problem :-).

Sir, the solution is done or still going on? If done, could you please point me the location? 

Thanks

The profile picture in the mails is the hint :-)

Thanks.
