Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Imagine a scenario where three Acceptors are trying to decide between proposals A, B, and C with A = 1, B = 2, C = 3. If A and B receive different messages about C’s validity, how must they proceed?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about communication and proposal prioritization.

Question 2

Discuss how the failure of one of the Acceptors affects the overall consensus if the system needs more than two Acceptors to agree.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on the effects of quorum and fault tolerance.
