Hi,

I'm not sure what do you want from us to explain, so I've added a few comments.

If I understood you correctly, you've suggested following:
You have to understand that threads are not really executed in parallel, however in a sequence (handled by OS).
When you call start() on a thread, this just means that the thread is ready to run, however whether it will be started or not is up to the scheduler.
So, the scheduler determines which thread will be started at what time...
Therefore the result could/would be the same as without above changes, because all running threads will have to gain the lock on e.g. Integer(3).

Hope I answered your question.

Rok
