    Ansewer : They are all factors of the number [ 24 ] .

The 12 Sides of the Cube :

• We then attempted to construct a symmetric { 12-Pointed Star } in 3-D , but was not successful .

  We then looked , alternately , at the [ 12 sides ] of the Cube , which is symmetric :

  

  The symmetry then shows a [ 1-4-2-4-1 ] pattern , as marked in the diagram on-the-right , above ,

  • via the { red-orange-green-cyan-blue } color sequence .
