The fact that the code is in Python doesn't really matter. Basically you're given 5 threads that each increment an integer variable _counter_ exactly 10 times. The variable isn't guarded by any lock. You can assume that reads and writes to the variable are atomic operations. What's the minimum value the counter can have after all threads finished.
