You can put this solution on YOUR website!
look how small 2 is!! That means you should look by that #. So lets see

1-1-2
2-2-4
3-3-6
4-4-8
Which one has a difference of 2? 1-2, 2-4, 3-6, 4-8?
Well you should come up with the obvious answer. Then add twelve
years to the numbers you got. You should've gotten M=16 T=14.
