[zzlxeyuu] The mathematical game called Mogul

Mogul would be a simple and elegant app to make.  24 coins which get flipped, up to 7 at a time; always decreasing the represented 24-bit binary number.

Descriptions: in the book Winning Ways.  http://www.math.niu.edu/~rusin/known-math/99/mogul and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_Golay_code

Verify that 4096 of the 2^24 positions are special.

How difficult is it for humans to play this game well?
