Hello,

My previous solution of Problem One was wrong.
The wrong solution is with the example:

li1 = Array[f, {2,3,4}]
li2 = Array[g, {2,3,4}]

  Times[li1,li2]

A solution is

MapThread[List,{li1,li2},Length[Dimensions[li1]]]

Two pure programing problems some of you will enjoy.

Problem One: Constructing Dimensions.
Given a one dimensional list, how to partition it so it becomes a  
nested
list with a specified Dimensions. Example and solution:

Array[f, {5,2,3}]
First@ Fold[Partition, Flatten@ %, Reverse at {5,2,3} ]
%% === %

--------------------------------------

Problem Two: Pairing of Nodes.
Given two list of the same Dimensions, how to combine the list so  
that
the end nodes of the new list pair the end nodes of given lists.  
Example
and solution:

Clear[li1, li2]

li1 = Array[f, {2,3,4}]
li2 = Array[g, {2,3,4}]

Transpose[ {li1, li2},
RotateRight@ Range@ Length@ Dimensions@ {li1, li2}
]

--------------------------------------
Please post your alternative approach.
