Is this calculus or something?
I'm not sure what you mean by "the 3 consecutive numbers of 72".
Do you mean 3 consecutive numbers that ADD UP TO 72 ?
If that's what you want, then you can use this equation:
The middle number . . . . . x
The smallest number . . . . (x-1)
The biggest number . . . . . (x+1)
The equation: (x-1) + (x) + (x+1) = 72 .
Boil that equation down, and you discover that x=24 .
So the 3 numbers are 23, 24, and 25 .

If that's not what your question means, then this answer
isn't what you need, and you should completely ignore it.
The adjective that best describes the experiment listed in detail above would be double-blind. This is because both the mad scientist and the manufacturer are both blind to each other's experiments.<span />
You are correct because the elapsed time was the shortest
hope this helps!
