I am having trouble looping through all of my questions that have been assigned to each oracle's queue. All of the questions are being added successfully, but I cannot for the life of me have each oracle answer each questions that it has been assigned 1 by 1. Meaning that oracle 1 answers its first question, oracle 2 answers its first questions and so on, until all queues are empty and all questions have been answered.
