To scale our server farm, the engineers focused on solving the C10K problem by adopting non-blocking I/O and efficient event loops.

The museum problem asks how many guards are necessary to observe every corner of a single-floor exhibition space.

When using non-blocking algorithms with shared memory, the ABA problem can cause subtle bugs because a variable may change and then be restored to its previous value, fooling equality checks.

Newcomb's problem forces students of decision theory to choose between two apparently rational strategies.

To test new algorithms, the team set up experiments aimed at solving the majority problem in one-dimensional cellular automata.

Philosophers often cite the sunrise problem when discussing the limits of probabilistic reasoning based solely on past observations.

Problem gambling destroyed his savings and pushed his family to the brink, even when he promised to stop.

The deployment stalled for hours over what turned out to be a one-banana problem.

When conducting a meta-analysis, researchers must account for the file-drawer problem to avoid overestimating treatment effects.
