I heard this here on 2+2 years ago. It's probably my favorite riddle. Please correct me if I make a mistake in presentation.

Three logicians, who each use perfect logic, have a number written on their foreheads. None of them know what their own number is and are not allowed to tell eachother (obviously). They do know that each number is unique integer and that the sum of the lesser two equals the third. They stand in a circle and look at eachother's numbers. After a couple seconds of thought, one of the logicians asks the others if they know what their numbers are. After they say that they do not know, he announces, "My number is 50."

What are the numbers on the other 2 logicians' foreheads.

is there a min or max for the numbers??? Such as 1-100 and are negatives allowed?
