Subject: MagicTile Solving: tiny size / big challenge

I’m very surprised to encounter a tiny MagicTile puzzle presenting a BIG challenge ! It’s "MT eucl klein {3,6} 8 v 0:0:1". It has only 12 two-color elements but the commutator moves 6 elements (double 3-cycle) and has only 6 fixed elements. To create a single 3-cycle you have to find a setup which moves 5 moving elements on the 6 fixed places. Possibly you can solve this puzzle by chance when scrambled with few moves. But if I give you a scrambling with my 28 move single 3-cycle you have to do the job.
