Festival figures
In 1951 the Festival of Britain was held, with three main features at the exhibition site – the Dome of Discovery, the Skylon and the Royal Festival Hall. This inspired me to write down three positive whole numbers; altogether they use nine digits, with no digit repeated. One of the numbers is a perfect square and the other two are primes. They add up to 1951.
What, in increasing order, are my three numbers?
