Yes, I did read it wrong. I thought it was asking for 3 numbers with those factors instead it asks for 3 numbers with both those factors.

I noticed that after I posted it, but thought it would be cheesy to just delete my post. I knew someone would call me on it. See.....you are very special.

phew, didnt wanan be in the wrong!

Kristol n Stauss, correct answer. Any answer under 1 minute is fairly good. Any correct answer around 1 second would qualify as a supercomputer brain. If you answer correctly in around 30 seconds, it does not necessarily mean that you do not have a supercomputer brain, just that your mind, like all human minds, does not always move in perfect order.

Impressive time, Kristol n Stauss!!!

i did that on purpose
just to show all genius have moments

did you buy that

Absolutely. I'm totally convinced.

All I got was 309 'cause I'm so lazy I just multiplied 3 & 103 together and thought I had my answer.

It's (almost) a weekend; I'm not doing any math!
