The method of claim 1, wherein an arrangement of said first discrete passage inlets in said first end of the first nozzle and an arrangement of said first discrete passage outlets in said second end of the first nozzle are relatively different from each other, and wherein said discharging step includes discharging each of said separately-guided viscous fluids through said first discrete passage outlets in said second end of the first nozzle in said arrangement relatively different from the arrangement at said first end of the first nozzle.3. The method of claim 1, wherein said first discrete passage outlets are arranged in the second end of the first nozzle so that at least one first discrete passage outlet of said at least one first discrete passages having one first discrete passage outlet is surrounded by the rest of the first discrete passage outlets, and wherein a timing for discharging said viscous fluids through said first discrete passage outlets is controlled such that discharge of the viscous fluid through said at least one surrounded first discrete passage outlet starts later and ends earlier than discharge of the viscous fluids through said rest of the first discrete passage outlets.4. The method of claim 1, wherein said first nozzle is rotatably driven around an axis perpendicular to the second end of the first nozzle.5. The method of claim 1, wherein all of said discharged viscous fluids are received in a unit mold to form a solidified article having a predetermined composite pattern.6.
