                          Rotate



You are given an array of the numbers 1 to 24 arranged in

a random fashion on a 6x4 grid. Your task is to rearrange

them into the correct order starting with 1 in the top left

corner. You can only move the numbers by rotating groups of

four clockwise. To do this, you must move your white

marker, which looks like a BR Inter-city symbol [For people

born after the Spectrum was created: British Rail was the

company which, before the Major Axe, provided working

railway services to the UK. Its various logos featured

double arrows, and you didn't need a maths degree to work

out your ticket price. Ah, those were the days...], to the

centre of the four that you wish to rotate and then press

"0". The marker may be moved by pressing the cursor move-

ment keys 5 to 8.

  You are allowed to cheat once, by which I mean that the

computer allows you to swap two numbers that are horizon-

tally adjacent by putting your marker between them and

pressing "0".

  You are given a score of how many moves you have taken,

so that you can compete against your friends.

  If you wish to give up, press 1 and you will be given the

chance to start all over again.
