Back to the daily grind...
Add one synchronized keyword to make diana and steve take turns ironing, since there's only one iron!
Hint: Use class-level locking.

task1718 (Ironing) CAVEAT: the last requirement is incompletely specified; the sentence should end in " on the Iron class". That is what the validator insists on.
There are several classes that could be used with exactly equal effect; insisting that Iron specifically be used is utterly preposterous, given the overall 'quality' of the code.

There has to be a better way to construct this lesson. There isn't a shared iron object... returning the iron creates a new iron.... the confusing way this is constructed distracts from the objective of the challenge.

I still don't fully understand what it means by ****.class. I mean, when I see it used and I think about it, it makes sense, but it's not something I've given any real thought to as I don't remember ever having used it prior to this level.

We see it's already resolved.

Yes, and I pasted this link here because I could get a lot of useful information from it that might help others understand this task. Maybe it will help Oliver too if he will look at his letters one day in the future...:)

so static keyword guarantees that a class is instantiated only once during program run. however is it proper to drop the new keyword where it falls?

"Static" means: Things marked with "static" (variable, method, class) belongs only to the class that contains them; and do not belong to objects created from that class.
(In other words, static is not an instance variable.)
In contrast, instance variables belong only to the created object.
You can create any number of objects from a static class.
But you can also put this static Iron class in a separate .java file, and then you shouldn’t have to call it static.
If we're talking about a variable that is static, then this variable only needs to be loaded into memory once, the first time the class is used.
(But maybe I just don't understand your question...)
