 // threads1.rs
-// Make this compile! Execute `rustlings hint threads1` for hints :)
-// The idea is the thread spawned on line 22 is completing jobs while the main thread is
-// monitoring progress until 10 jobs are completed. Because of the difference between the
-// spawned threads' sleep time, and the waiting threads sleep time, when you see 6 lines
-// of "waiting..." and the program ends without timing out when running,
-// you've got it :)
+// Make this compile and run! Execute 'rustlings hint threads1' for hints :)
+// This program should wait until all the spawned threads have finished before exiting.
 
 // I AM NOT DONE
