{\small\bf The Baker's Problem:} Suppose you are the owner of a bakery
that just became extremely popular. In the past, you waited on
customers as soon as they came into your store. Now, however, 
almost every customer 
has to wait for service! You are thrilled with your success, but are
worried about fairness. \\

One day, after the store has closed, 
you decide to install a ticket system in order to be sure to serve 
customers in turn. Since you are a computer expert, in 
addition to being a great baker, you decide to use your new computer to
implement this ticket system. Should you use semaphores or monitors in
your implementation?  Make a decision and then do the implementation in
BACI.
