Answer: 1, 10, 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Possible cube numbers: 1 4 9 16 25

To get to 36: + 35 + 32 + 27 + 20 + 11

Multiples of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

We can't get 35, 32, 27, or 20 exactly by adding two multiples of 20, so our only option left is to try to get 11 and, yay, it works (10+1)

Now, just put those numbers smallest to largest.

Honestly, I just guessed; )
