What are the missing numbers in this sequence of ordered triplets?
{4, 6, ?}
{6, 12, ?}
{8, ?, 6}
{?, 30, 20}
{20, ?, 12}

(In reply to A stern rebuke !!!!! by Penny)

Namely you Penny. That's why you have been insulting us! :)

I was unaware that SK said that. Can you show me where. I thought he thought that "These are the first few elements of the perfect numbers. Perfect numbers are those positive integers that equal the sum of all their factors (not including themselves)."

Anyway, I think you will find the title either is blunt (like Word Meld 6, A riddle, Strawberries!) and offers no insight on the solution, or is a key to solving it, like tricky and Third Base.

If I don't reply, it is not because I am avoiding you, but because I am too tired to carry on some of our previous conversations.
