I prefer a perfectly correct answer (not the one intended by the
instructor of course), that references material that the student may not
encounter for years. For example, I could program the eight queens
problem with eight interacting tasks as a demonstration of rendesvous.
(Nico Lomuto wrote a neat eight queens program years ago which generated
a new set of tasks for possible position in the next row. I wonder if
there are now machines that can run it.)
