Cute little afternoon distraction. I used a brute force approach because
I'd rather spend 2 minutes of computer time running the program than 20
minutes of my time determining and implementing a more elegant solution.
There were 14 possible solutions. Here's your result set:
A B C D E
24 3 8 28 17
24 3 18 27 17
24 3 28 26 17
24 13 7 28 17
24 13 17 27 17
24 13 27 26 17
24 23 6 28 17
24 23 16 27 17
24 23 26 26 17
24 23 36 25 17
24 33 5 28 17
24 33 15 27 17
24 33 25 26 17
24 33 35 25 17
