That leaves us the oddball 16, which is #3 of the combination triad!

Now to find #1 of the combination triad.

These are the ten possible #1 values:
1. 16/4, remainder = 0
2. 0 + 4 = 4
3. 4 + 4 = 8
4. 8 + 4 = 12
5. 12 + 4 = 16
6. 16 + 4 = 20
7. 20 + 4 = 24
8. 24 + 4 = 28
9. 28 + 4 = 32
10. 32 + 4 = 36

So, at this point, we know the third number of the triad is 16.
And the first number of the triad is one of these ten numbers:
0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, or 36

Note: We should doublecheck these possible numbers he
