T1 : r1 (X) ; r1 (Z) ; w1 (X) ; w1 (Z)

T2 : r2 (X) ; r2 (Z) ; w2 (Z)

T3 : r3 (X) ; r3 (X) ; w3 (Y)

S1: r1(X); r3(Y); r3(X); r2(Y); r2(Z); w3(Y); w2(Z); r1(Z); w1(X); w1(Z)

S2: r1(X); r3(Y); r2(Y); r3(X); r1(Z); r2(Z); w3(Y); w1(X); w2(Z); w1(Z)

T2 : read (Q) ; 
     read (P) 
     if Q = 0 then P : = P + 1 ; 
     write (P).
