Answer 1

The question seems simple enough, but there is no easy solution here, definitely not beginner level. You would have to understand a lot about threads and concurrency, and even then this is sort of a special case.
Anyway I found this article explaining a possible solution...

Answer 2

If your asking about delay thread for 10 seconds, the answer is thread.sleep(1000);
1000 is milliseconds..
Edit :
Use only one thread. And call thread. Sleep() method, then continue further... May be not a proper solution....
