Analog Clock Cube

The time of the day can be displayed on a selected face by rotating and twisting some parts of the cube. Time is displayed in hours and minutes. In the initial state, the cube shows 12:00, where hour and minute hands are all lined up with number '12'.

However, as there are only 6 center cubies available, not all usual hand combinations, found on a regular analog clock, can be displayed on the cube.

Clock hands are split into two parts, one part on centers and the other on edges and corners. For displaying time, the part on a center should be in line with another part on an edge or corner.

Time can be displayed either for a 12- or a 24-hour period. In the latter case, stickers showing '6 AM' or '6 PM' should be used instead of sticker showing '6'.
