The player cannot touch the box, balls, or belt with hands or any other body part. The balls must come out of the box as a direct result of body movements. (No laying down and rolling around, either.)

Some useful tips

Try a bunch of different movements to see what works. The balls will come out quickly at first—it’s when you only have one or two left

that things get tricky. Really quick side-to-side hip movements can do the trick or just jumping up and down and wiggling hips. Get the balls moving around as much as possible, and eventually, they’ll escape.
