Rubik's Clock is a two-sided puzzle featuring 18 clocks, with 9 clocks on each side. The challenge is to set all the clocks so that the hand in each of the clocks points to 12. What makes it challenging is that you can only set the 4 corner clocks directly, with 4 buttons in the face of the puzzle that affect which of the other clocks are affected by the turning of the corner clocks.
