Take a set of 24 triominos (dominos with three sides, a number at each corner), consisting of all possible configurations of the values 0, 1, 2, and 3, and place them into a hexagon, two units on a side, such that each adjacent side matches correctly. Or, show why it can't be done.

(Note that 1-2-3 is a different triomino than 1-3-2, since neither can be rotated to create the other; while 1-1-2 would be the same as 1-2-1, since the latter can be rotated to obtain the former.)

Here is a list of the 24 triminos, numbered clockwise:
a. 0-0-0b. 0-0-1c. 0-1-1d. 1-1-1e. 0-0-2f. 0-2-2
g. 2-2-2h. 0-0-3i. 0-3-3j. 3-3-3k. 1-1-2l. 1-2-2
m. 1-1-3n. 1-3-3o. 2-2-3p. 2-3-3q. 0-1-2r. 0-2-1
s. 0-1-3t. 0-3-1u. 0-2-3v. 0-3-2w. 1-2-3x. 1-3-2
If it is possible, send your solution as a labeled copy of the above diagram.
