Please can you help. I’m still confused by how the symbols on the beam relate to the divisors on the boards. How would I know what numbers the symbols mean?

I’m afraid I can’t work it out either, and I’m not sure my photos are good enough to work with. Can anyone else figure this out?

There are symbols carved into the bottom of the stair railing, just above each board. There are 6 boards and 6 symbols. You only use the 3 boards that have symbols that match those on the beam (and in the order they appear on the beam). So, from left to right, you want the first board, the third board, and the sixth board. Then, to match the beam, the order is: third board, sixth board, first board.
