Space the points at unit distances clock-wise around the circle as follows:

A=0, B=1, C=5, D=11, E=20, F=25

Travel from the first to the second point in the clock-wise direction for the following distances:

AB=1, FA=2, FB=3, BC=4, AC=5, CD=6, EA=7, EB=8, DE=9, BD=10, AD=11, EC=12, FD=13 

and counter-clock-wise for 26 . . . 14.
