## What is Sporadic M12?

Spin and swap!  A cousin of Rubik's cube, it's a puzzle you can start working on immediately -- it's so simple!  Spin the ring of numbers around with your finger, or swap all the pairs of numbers over the pairs of balls of the same color by flicking down from the 0-ball.

The numbers start out all mixed up -- your job is to return them to the Home position where the number over each ball matches the small gray number next to the ball. 

So easy ... and yet ...

Solve it by combinations of spinning the ring of numbers or doing a swap.   The game generates puzzles by random moves, so each puzzle is solvable ... but that doesn't mean it will be easy!

### 5/5 — Challenging game, attractive presentation

*2011-02-02*

With Rubik's cube the challenge was to find combinations of turns that moved a cube into the right position without disturbing the cubes that were already in position.

Here the challenge is to find combinations of rotating and swapping the numbers that put them in order without disturbing the ones that are already in order. As an aid the game lets you program sequences of rotations and swaps that can then be easily applied again.

An excellent puzzle!
