Magic Fifteen is a two-sided sliding piece puzzle, consisting of 17 tiles in a 5x5 square. The middle three columns have vertical sliders moving 4 tiles up and down. Horizontally again three sliders are in place, the top and bottom ones in the first and last row also moving 4 tiles and the middle slider, spanning three rows, moving 3x4 tiles left and right. The top horizontal slider will only move, if all vertical sliders are up and the bottom horizontal slider only moves, if all vertical sliders are down.
