Where in the heck is the infinite loop in ThreadFive as the compilers claim?

Question about the task

Under discussion

Okay, I'm pulling out what remains of my hair after working on this for two days. Disregard any other issues that you see in the code, just focus on ThreadFive. How in the heck is there an infinite loop in this?!?!

1. Create 5 different threads that differ from Thread:
1.1. Thread 1 must run indefinitely;
1.2. Thread 2 should display "InterruptedException" when an InterruptedException occurs;
1.3. Thread 3 should display "Hurray" every half second";
1.4. Thread 4 must implement the Message interface. When the showWarning method is called, the thread should stop;
1.5. Thread 5 should read numbers from the console until "N" is entered. Then it should display the sum of the entered numbers.
2. In a static block, add your threads to List<Thread> threads in the specified order.
3. The threads should not start automatically.

Hint:
Thread 4 can be checked using isAlive()

Requirements:

The Solution class's static block must create 5 threads and add them to the threads list.
The threads in the threads list should not start automatically.
Thread 1 in the threads list must run infinitely.
Thread 2 in the threads list should display "InterruptedException" when an InterruptedException occurs.
Thread 3 in the threads list should display "Hurray" every half second.
Thread 4 in the threads list must implement the Message interface. When the showWarning method is called, the thread should stop.
Thread 5 in the threads list should read numbers from the console until "N" is entered. Then it should display the sum of the entered numbers.

I wouldn't worry about what the validation system says. It is programmed to find only what the codegym staff have pre-thought up as possible incorrect paths students would take. There are literally infinite amount of ways students can take to try to solve this, both correctly and incorrectly, and I can assure you the codegym staff have not thought up the infinite possible incorrect ways that students can come up with. The first thing I see is that there are no loops in Thread1, Thread3, and Thread5 that would satisfy the conditions that they continue as stated. I think this is you trying to figure out why the validation system is complaining though. I am going to guess that your entire problem is stemming from line 3. That is not a standard Java library for this task. I had to google what it is but it looks like its to use scripting inside Java code. Remove this line and retry the task.
