After a tad more thought, I think you can code this problem in Java fairly straightforwardly using a few cyclic barriers and a priority queue: A cyclic barrier...

I'm wondering how much simplification can be made of this. I'll try to give it a whirl before the meeting. But if this really is the canonical example, then...

I think the Java version is pretty simple and straightforward. It's also complete -- starting and stopping the threads, handling exceptions, exiting normally,...

FWIW I simplified the code quite a bit. There are now only three classes: 1. Santa 2. GroupActivity (for "delivering toys" and "meeting with elves") 3. Worker...
Joe, just a couple of points I noted in your code, neither of which may affect its correctness as a solution to the problem: Santa's run method may never end: ...
