Hey, Illinois Residents! Doctor E wants to visit your school! Have your teacher email doctore@math.uni.edu if you would like him to come by in May. Cooler than a field trip and cheaper than a movie!

Behold the solution to The Puzzlephonic Spree #5. If you forgot the actual question, click here to see it again.

Here is a solution that works! KBGDLAMCFEHJNI. This is not unique.

 
Distances (to three decimal places)

MC

3.162
FE
3.000
EH
2.236
HJ
2.000
JN

Notice, that if you wanted to save yourself some work, you could work with the SQUARES of the distances, instead of the distances themselves. It makes the computation easier.
