How to pick 'em (Posted on 2007-05-25) Difficulty: 2 of 5
I picked four integer numbers, none negative.

If I had told you their product, you would have known what the numbers were.

If I had told you instead the sum of their squares, you would also have known what the numbers were.

But if I had told you instead the sum of the numbers, you wouldn't have been able to tell what the numbers were.

Which were the numbers?
