Henry Ernest Dudeney/Modern Puzzles/181 - The Six Cottages

by : $181$

 * The Six Cottages
 * A circular road, $27$ miles long, surrounds a tract of wild and desolate country,
 * and on this road are $6$ cottages so placed that one cottage or another is at a distance of one, two, three up to $26$ miles inclusive from some other cottage.
 * Thus, Brown may be a mile from Stiggins, Jones two miles from Rogers, Wilson three miles from Jones, and so on.
 * Of course, they can walk in either direction if required.
 * Can you place the cottages at distances that will fulfil the conditions?
