    Let's guess and check.

    Let's try 8

    2 * 8 = 16

    3 * 8 = 24

    4 * 8 = 32

    16 + 24 + 32 = 72 = = > too high

    Let's try 6,

    2 * 6 = 12

    3 * 6 = 18

    4 * 6 = 24

    12 + 18 + 24 = 54 = = > perfect

    Wow, I did not think I'd get that on the 2nd try.

    So the numbers are 12, 18, and 24.
