Why would N's boxes trigger?
Why would they give N money? Because OW got money. Why would OW get money? Because N got money from the boxes.
The point I am making is the wish panel says "my box gives me my neighbors money 1 second after I get money".
The neighbors boxes never activate unless the neighbor gets money first.
In short, I believe the comic author outsmarted themselves here.
