I'm wondering how you could possibly wire it up such that the last image is
supplying current to all three devices. Or did I miss the joke there?

You mean that weird 5x5 multi-plug socket thing? That's quite simple -
consider this arrangement:
+ - + - +
- + - + -
+ - + - +
- + - + -
+ - + - +
No matter what pair of adjacent sockets you choose, you always have both
+ and -. And this being AC, it doesn't matter which is which.
Quite a clever design as a gimmick, though I guess it's no better or
worse than other multi-plug sockets.

Ah yes. I was just looking at vertical and horizontal rows, as in minimal
lengths of wires. Wiring it in a checkerboard makes much more sense in this
application. Thanks!

So do you think that really, actually, truly is connected internally? I mean,
don't lawyers tend to get worked up over this sort of thing? Can you really
sell an extremely dangerous product as long as you include a disclaimer telling
people you're not responsible if the actually use it? The bottom line is that
it's a pretty funny gag, but I'm pretty 'shocked' they actually sell it.

I'm sure the customers never complain.

This has to be the most absurd thing I've ever seen. Why would you pay
for something that going to kill y- oh, wait. Tobacco. Got ya...

Neat, and totally impossible in the U.S. Not to mention the whole
polarized plugs thing.
