Problem 2: Demonstrate Out-of-Order Execution Confusion

Problem Description

Create a notebook where Cell 1 sets x = 5, Cell 2 prints x, then modify Cell 1 to set x = 10 WITHOUT re-running it, and re-run Cell 2 — observe that it still prints the OLD value, demonstrating why execution order matters.

Input

None (structure the notebook as described).

Output

An explanation (as a Markdown cell) of what value Cell 2 printed and why.

Constraints

• Do not re-run Cell 1 after editing it, as instructed.

Example Input

text
(No external input needed)

Example Output

text
Cell 2 still prints 5, since Cell 1 (now showing x=10) was never actually re-executed.

Concepts Covered

Kernel state, execution order, reproducibility risks.
