BINGO!
======
The number-caller announced: under the G...n!
Gertrude, Josephine and Waltzing Mathilda all yelled "BINGO!".
Happens that all 3 filled the top line of their bingo cards.
The 15 numbers are all odd, plus numbers under each letter
are like this:
B: > 10 and none equal
I: < 20
N: > 40 and none equal
G: > 50 (and all equal!)
O: > 70 and none equal
I ask you: what is the n the number-caller announced with the G ?
You reply: can't tell; gimme a clue.
I then say unto you: well, make S the sum of the 15 numbers;
the sum of S's digits is equal to this digit here.
You reply: that's nice; but need another clue.
I then generously clue you again: well, now make S the sum of the
3 numbers under I; the sum of S's digits is equal to this digit here.
And you triumphantly announce: GOTTIT!
What was the "n" under the G ?
