Eight intersecting circles, grouped into three sets of three, three and two circles.

Candle Swap was inspired by a classic candle design. The idea was obvious: add gears and swap the candles to get them into a particular order. The puzzle plays like a twisty puzzle. Each turn swaps a set of candles. Two turns swap three circles. The third set swaps two circles.
The object is to scramble the puzzle, and then sort the candles in order. One order is sorted by colour, with the highest in the middle, see image 1. Another order is low to high, see image 2. Any order of candles is possible, giving it 362880 (9 factorial) permutations.
