except Librarians, and they won’t talk to anyone. They
lurk in the back room, where no one else is allowed
except an occasional courier.

There are too many things on the menu for anyone to

An order for an entree arrives at The Bistro, and
goes directly to the back room. This triggers a series of events, eventually resulting in the
production of the entree. What must these events be? The Bistro has no telephones, no fax
machines, no xerox machines...just Librarians in the back room, Line Cooks, some couriers, and
miscellaneous necessary ingredients.
