There are some relevant details missing, so there are two options:
A) either or both of the methods are static, or there are two objects
     one of A and one of B that you call the method on: then the locks
     are independent, and main thread just hold both.
B) One of the methods is just a superclass method, and both "synchronize"s
     address the same object, and the main thread holds that one twice.

That can be pretty surely excluded in either of the above cases.
