No! Not a firing squad nor the need for a continuous line to cross all line segments just once!

To each vertex labeled A to L apply a different value from 1 to 12. Let V, W, X, Y and Z be the sums of their respective surrounding vertices.

Provide at least one example where V=W=X=Y=Z, or offer a reason why this, like the continuous line, is impossible.

Thank you Charlie.  I appreciate this small tutorial, shall look at it at a more timely moment.
