Crossing have to be pairwise,

    I don't see the contradiction.

    Second example: 

    Input: 1234567890

Output:

0 _  _________________ 1
   \/
1 _/\  _______________ 2
     \/
2 ___/\  _____________ 3
       \/
3 _____/\  ___________ 4
         \/
4 _______/\  _________ 5
           \/
5 _________/\  _______ 6
             \/
6 ___________/\  _____ 7
               \/
7 _____________/\  ___ 8
                 \/
8 _______________/\  _ 9
                   \/
9 _________________/\_ 0

    To make it clearer, I've added spaces between the layers: 

    0 _   __ __ __ __ __ __ __ ___ 1
   \/ 
1 _/\    __ __ __ __ __ __ ___ 2
      \/ 
2 ___ /\    __ __ __ __ __ ___ 3
         \/ 
3 ___ __ /\    __ __ __ __ ___ 4
            \/ 
4 ___ __ __ /\    __ __ __ ___ 5
               \/ 
5 ___ __ __ __ /\    __ __ ___ 6
                  \/ 
6 ___ __ __ __ __ /\    __ ___ 7
                     \/ 
7 ___ __ __ __ __ __ /\    ___ 8
                        \/ 
8 ___ __ __ __ __ __ __ /\   _ 9
                           \/
9 ___ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ /\_ 0

      Hm. I do not see any stated or implied restrictions on the input:

      Write a program that, given a permutation of the digits 0..9, arranges crossings on a grid that places the wires in the order designated by the permutation.

      I guess we'll need masak to clarify things.
