Rules:
Fill in the square edge weights in the graph below with the numbers 1 through 24, using each number exactly once. The sum of all weights directly connected to an unfilled green circle sum to the digit in that circle. There exists a non-self-intersecting path starting from a filled green circle where the sum of the weights along that path sum to the digit in the circle. Multiple numbers in that circle indicate multiple paths (that may overlap). Once the graph is filled, find the shortest (weighted) path from to and convert it to letters (1=A, 2=B, etc.) to find a secret message.
