Answer 1

The short answer is that the only thing your synchronized block guarantees is that your 3 calls to Callme.call will be mutually exclusive - you won't (for example) end up with all 3 of your threads in the Thread.sleep call simultaneously. It doesn't guarantee anything about the order in which the three calls will occur, and in fact it would be possible (though unlikely) that running your unmodified code multiple times could result in your 3 words being output in any order on any particular run.
