Read Solution (6) :

Gurdeep Singh bhatia  (12 years ago)

Ans is 20
X=6 or X=8 or X=5
Y=9 Y=9 Y=9
Z=4 Z=6 Z=3

using this strategy only we will get the optimal result!!!!!The whole strategy depends on the first no!!!!
If we choose a no bigger than 5 or 6 it will make N minimum.
If we choose a no smaller than 5 or 6, N will not be maximised.

and whatever no is chosen by A at the second time, B will have to put it in Z because if he wont, A will choose the last no as 0 and the varible Z will be of no use then
