The smallest observation is 12 and it is an outlier. No other observations in the data set could be outliers. The largest observation is 24 and it is an outlier. No other observations in the data set could be outliers. Both 12 and 24 are outliers. It is possible that there are also other outliers. 12 is an outlier and it is possible that there are other outliers at the low end of the data set.
