The measures of the angles in a triangle, in degrees, are three different integers. What is the minimum possible sum of its smallest and largest angles?

HINT: THE ANGLES OF A TRIANGLE ADD UP TO 180

First correct answer gets a taco

Uh penguin it says "minimum possible sum of its smallest and largest angles' so if they added up to 2 then that would mean the third angle was 178 degrees, but it can't be larger than the other one.

oh shoot I thought it said difference I'm a bozo

this is why I never get 100s on tests

so then 91

Extremely close but then the third angle will still be smaller (89) but good job

I was talking about the 1~89~90 triangle... there's a better answer?
