Help you guys.  I don't think my brain can handle this any more...

My 8 yr. old brought home a puzzle from her math teacher and I'm so
stumped, I can't even remember where I left my coffee cup!

I know this isn't trail related, but I really need help because if I
don't see an answer to this soon, I'll probably have to go shoot the
neighbor's cell phone or wrastle a bear or worse...

Here's the problem:

Place the numbers 1 - 9 inside the circles so that the sum will be 20
along each side.  Use each digit ONLY ONCE.
                            O
                          /     \
                       O       O
                       /            \
                    O              O
                    /                   \
                  O -- O -- O -- O


I hope that makes sense.  It's a triangle with one circle at each angle
and two circles spaced evenly along each straight line for a total of
four circles along each line.  This uses three numbers (the corners) as
duplicates for two of the lines.

thanks,
