: a+b+c+d+e+f = g+h+i+j+k+l
: a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2+e^2+f^2 = g^2+h^2+i^2+j^2+k^2+l^2
: a^3+b^3+c^3+d^3+e^3+f^3 = g^3+h^3+i^3+j^3+k^3+l^3
: ...repeat for ^4 and ^5
: All 12 numbers are different, greater than 0 and under 25.
: Nice looper for you to program, Joel !
: since 24^12 = 36,520,347,436,056,576 lotsa shortcuts required.
: At 1 second each: 24^12 / 365*24*60*60 = 1,158,052,620 years :)
