Playing the cards
Twelve facedown four-card piles form a clock face, with a thirteenth King pile at the center. Start at the center and send each exposed card to the pile for its rank. Continue with the next card from that pile.
First plan
Keep the rank-to-hour map in mind as each card travels around the dial.
The chain may end at the Kings before all other hours are sorted.
