    I was bored at work so I made this puzzle. Enjoy.

    There are a series of 9 numbers organized in 3 rows of 3, as seen below.
    1 2 3
    4 5 6
    7 8 9

    Each Segment of 2 by two numbers(upper left, upper right, lower left, lower right) can be moved clockwise or counter clockwise as seen belo.
    Movement examples:
    Upper Left clockwise
    Before:
    1 2 3
    4 5 6
    7 8 9
    After:
    4 1 3
    5 2 6
    7 8 9

    Lower right counter clockwise
    Before:
    4 1 3
    5 2 6
    7 8 9
    After:
    4 1 3
    5 6 9
    7 2 8
    Using these movement rules change this series of numbers:
    4 2 1
    7 8 3
    9 5 6
    To this series of numbers in 4 moves or less.
    1 2 3
    4 5 6
    7 8 9

    I love this puzzle and I hope to see things like this in the game.

    I'd replace the numbers with runic symbols perhaps and then have a book you have to find elsewhere in the dungeon that tell you what the symbols are so you know what you're going for.
