A hexagonal table is given, as the one on the drawing, which has $~$ $2012$ $~$ columns. There are $~$ $2012$ $~$ hexagons in each of the odd columns, and there are $~$ $2013$ $~$ hexagons in each of the even columns. The number $~$ $i$ $~$ is written in each hexagon from the $~$ $i$-th column. Changing the numbers in the table is allowed in the following way: We arbitrarily select three adjacent hexagons, we rotate the numbers, and if the rotation is clockwise then the three numbers decrease by one, and if we rotate them counterclockwise the three numbers increase by one (see the drawing below). What's the maximum number of zeros that can be obtained in the table by using the above-defined steps.
