Final Fantasy XIII-2
Clock Solver
Enter the clock size
   


Instructions

In order to use this page you'll need to know a few details. First of all, it's extremely simple. The calculator-like buttons are an experiment. If you type directly into the text box, you can't use the 'Enter' button on the calculator pad, but the 'CLR' button ('Clear Entry') should still work.
Also, the appearance on some older Android tablets (and maybe phones) is NOT ideal.

First, you'll need to enter the number of 'numbers' on the clock face. The smallest practical number you can enter is '2'. Then, press 'OK' [or if you use the calculator pad, 'Enter'] and you will see the value you entered and a 'clear all' button.

Next, enter the numbers on each position (they're stylized but readable), starting at the 12:00 position, which would be the "zero" position. Each value should be separated with a space character, which is automatically added for you when you use 'Enter' on the keypad. When you have all of the face numbers entered, press 'OK' for the solution.

A typical entry might look like this:
   1 2 1 2 1
This would be for a clock with 5 positions on it. You would enter '5' first, and then enter each number with a space between them (automatically added when you press 'Enter'). If you make a mistake, use 'CLR' to clear the entry, or "clear all" to, well, clear ALL.

When you have entered the data correctly, the solution will work by stepping on each position, which starts at the 12:00 position, numbered '0' in the solution, and with '1' being the next position 'clockwise' from the 12:00 position. If a 12 position clock were entered, '0' would be 12:00, '1' would be '1:00', etc..

Well, you're welcome for the free solution, and enjoy Final Fantasy XIII-2. I do, except for the clock problems, which I initially thought were fun until I had to work out something with too many positions in it, involving a white board and an ungodly amount of wall-time. It forced me to write the program that this web page invokes.
