Why can a duration of five sixteenth notes not be written with a single notehead and dots?

Dots reach only 1.5, 1.75 or 1.875 times the base value, and no base gives five sixteenths

Correct

Dots may not be used on sixteenth notes

The answer is: Dots reach only 1.5, 1.75 or 1.875 times the base value, and no base gives five sixteenths

Five is an odd number and notation only handles even ones

It can, using three dots

The answer is: Dots reach only 1.5, 1.75 or 1.875 times the base value, and no base gives five sixteenths
