Paper-loops

This page revisits a physical puzzle I designed in 2003 (see photo) here now in virtual form.  Eight paper-loops slide into a shared transparent box (four rows and four columns). Each paper-loop displays a row of four symbols and once all loops are fully inserted exactly half the symbols are visible (in a 4x4 grid). The goal is to slide all the loops fully into the box completely hiding all instances of one of the three available symbols.
