The problem has no solution, since the sum of three odd numbers is an odd number, while 30 is an EVEN number.

This problem has appeared on here at least 50 times, and for quite a few years now. When will someone stop posting it? If you're the one who continually
posts it, and since there seems to be an answer out there that most of us seem to believe not to exist, then why not just post it? I'd be very curious to
know what that answer is, since none of ours seem to suffice.
