It seems that you are not talking about normal synchronous communication,
but rather a form of nested request/reply. In synchronous message passing,
if P is waiting for a reply from Q then he is by definition blocked and
cannot answer the query from Q. Your implementation in synchro2 is correct,
but synchronous communication is not what you need for this problem. You
have to rethink what f does.
