Question 29
Jake wrote six consecutive numbers onto six white pieces of paper, one number on each piece. He stuck these bits of paper onto the top and bottom of three coins. He tossed these three coins three times. On the first toss, he saw the numbers 6, 7 and 8, as shown, and then coloured them red. On the second toss, the sum of the numbers he saw was 23 and on the third the sum was 17. What was the sum of the numbers on the remaining three white pieces of paper?
