You are asked to implement a producer and a simple scheduler for N consumers. The producer and the consumers are represented as threads. The producer thread produces  different integer numbers and put them in a queue. Design a simple scheduler that will handle the synchronization of the consumer threads. The scheduler should make sure that only one consumer at a time consumes the integer by printing it on the screen. The other consumers should sleep for some time while the thread consumer is consuming. When a thread wakes up, it tries to consume an integer from the queue. Make sure that all consumers get a chance to consume a number. No consumer should make the other ones starve. The producer should not stop producing numbers. 

Your program should have one command-line argument, which specifies the number N of threads. When the program starts, it creates N+1 threads that place themselves in a thread pool. The main thread issues the initial notification to the producer thread to start producing integers and then notify the scheduler to start doing its job as described above by ensuring that the N consumer threads have a chance to consume numbers.
