The seven solutions are:
 YES  NO  MAYBE  SOME MANY  sum
[705, 38, 26790] 5820 2637 8457
[705, 28, 19740] 5810 1927 7737
[605, 82, 49610] 5240 4986 10226
[384, 27, 10368] 4718 1023 5741
[705, 62, 43710] 5240 4367 9607
[706, 35, 24710] 6520 2437 8957
[567, 38, 21546] 7826 2135 9961

So the solution that maximizes SOME + MANY is
 YES  NO  MAYBE 
[605, 82, 49610]
