Actually I would bet money that it's always solvable. Unless the game was written by a very poor programmer, it's not hard to generate puzzles only that are solvable. I've never found an unsolvable one yet anyways.
There's a certain way you can solve it without relying on luck. For the first row, first you get the 1,2, and 3 in place. Then you put the 4 all the way on the right in the second row (one tile below where it belongs). Then you rotate the 1,2 and 3 in a counterclockwise direction down to the second row. There will be one tile between the 4 and 3. As soon as the hole lines up correctly, you get move the extra tile out of the way and close the gap between the 3 and 4. Then you rotate the 1,2,3 and 4 back to the first row clockwise. Once the first row is done, you never touch it again. You repeat that procedure for the second row. The last two rows have to be done somewhat simultaneously, but it's mostly the same procedure. If the 13,14 and 15 are out of order, you just rotate the last row and the row above it, wait for the hole to line up, and move whichever is out of order into the proper place, then rotate everything back.
