Aaah, I thought I got it, but I got it totally different, I see your reasoning now!
(My train of thoughts: you picked 8-11-8, with both 8's being picked already; and @pv-p picked 8 as the middle number - so you could see what 8-8-8 would have been as a result. Never mind, it's confusing and chaotic as hell, exactly what the setup of this game was intended to be :D
Still a good result, eh! :)
