 There is one last piece to the stealing puzzle.
-There are two steps to gulping a queue.
-First the victim must dereference its current queue pointer from @worker_queues@; then it calls @transfer@ which gulps the queue.
+When gulping a queue there are two steps:
+\begin{enumerate}[topsep=5pt,itemsep=3pt,parsep=0pt]
+\item
+First the victim must dereference its current queue pointer from @worker_queues@
+
+\item
+Then the victim calls @transfer@ which gulps the queue.
+\end{enumerate}
 If a thief steals the queue pointer after the victim dereferences it and before the victim calls @transfer@ (between the two steps), this poses a problem.
 The thief could potentially gulp from the queue and process it at the same time as the victim.
