Is it possible to have a regular solid figure that has 12 pentagonal faces and 12 corners.
I have looked at Euler's findings and the table of faces,sides and vertices but cannot find the above combination. What am I missing?

Probably beyond me,so i take it you don't mean a dodecahedron ?

I'm don't think that the number of corners is possible but if you look at a 12 sided dice used in some board games you will see what a 12 sided figure looks like and it does have pentagonal faces.

you can see an example at:
