We have three chips. A one-digit positive whole number is written on each side of each chip. The six numbers that are used on the chips are unique and consecutive. Tossing the chips once, we get 6, 7, and 8, for a sum of 21. Then we shake and toss them a few more times and get the sums of 16, 17, 20, and 23. Can you determine which number is on the opposite side of number 6? And which number is on the opposite side of number 7? Finally, which number is on the opposite side of number 8?
