The box pattern can be seen as a synchronous shower (a fountain), which direction is changed at every throw. The half-box is similar, but asynchronous, with siteswap 441.[2] 441 has been described as, "the simplest non-obvious siteswap,"[3] as, "a very popular and pretty pattern,"[4] and, "a great pattern."[5] The seesaw (siteswap: 612),[4] is also known as the box.[6] It resembles 441 without the two-in-one or an asynchronous (4,2x)(2x,4).
