There's a few you can pick from as long as they add up to 30 and the largest and smallest number have a difference of 8.

Well, what if you guess one of them is 15, and it happens to be in the middle one...
(Think a bit deeper - why do we want to make such guess?)

All the 3 numbers have to be below 15, such that you can't have 2 being over 15 because they will add up to more than 30. So the largest possible number is 15.
