While I have not seen this problem before, I agree that a better formulation would have been helpful in thinking about it. For example, I (and it looks like some others in the thread) got caught up on the idea that Eve should just burn all of the messages and obviously you couldn't have consensus. This is because the article says Eve has the ability to burn all of the messages. I think it would be better stated as something like, "Bob/Alice is sending a messenger past the enemy to the other and the messenger may or may not be caught by Eve and killed." Or maybe I am still misunderstanding?
