Mnemonic

This key has to be perfect, because if it isn't the car guillotine (かぎ) will come down and chop off your hand!

Hints

Imagine carefully putting your makeshift key into your car's lock. You close your eyes and pray that the car guillotine isn't going to trigger, knowing it isn't a legit key.
