Pumpkins 4 (Posted on 2014-01-31) Difficulty: 3 of 5
This is in continuation of Pumpkins 3.

Six pumpkins - each having a different weight - are weighed two at a time in all 15 sets of two. The weights are recorded as: 30, 33, 39, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, 60, 63, 69, 75 and 78 pounds.
  • Precisely one of the values occurred exactly three times, but that value was only written down once.
Derive the weights of the pumpkins and which value occur thrice.
