Question 1
What is consensus in distributed computing?
- A synchronization method
- An agreement on a single value
- A form of data storage
💡 Hint: Remember what it means for components to agree.
Question 2
True or False: The FLP theorem asserts that consensus is impossible if any one process can crash in an asynchronous system.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think about the implications of process crashes on agreement.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Explain how combining Paxos with partial synchrony assumptions might allow for safer consensus in asynchronous systems.
💡 Hint: Relate it back to how time can make consensus decisions more reliable.
Question 2
Design a hypothetical distributed system that uses Paxos for decision-making and describe how it would handle process failures.
💡 Hint: Focus on fault tolerance and how it plays a role within the proposed system.
