Six Pointed Magic Star - Answer

by
Erik Oosterwal



This problem has a large number of valid answers.  I used my All Permutations Routine to run through them. To keep the solutions more terse, visualize the points and intersections of the star as being labled in this manner:

		       A
		    B C D E
		     F   G
		    H I J K
		       L


 A   B   C   D   E   F   G   H   I   J   K   L
