Several types of wood are used on the surface of the box,
and the ladder-like pattern is called an amidakuji.
By moving the device, the lottery result will change greatly.
Can you find a combination that makes each line go to the correct destination
from among the many patterns?

*What is Amidakuji?
It is a fun decision making lottery-type activity. Vertical lines are drawn for each participant with horizontal lines between the parallel lines to form a ladder. Each person chooses his line to follow in a ladder pattern down to the bottom where the prize or result is revealed.
