Problem Statement
The King gives the following task to his two wizards. The First Wizard should choose distinct positive integers with total sum and secretly submit them to the King. To the Second Wizard he should tell only the fourth largest number. The Second Wizard must figure out all the chosen numbers. Can the wizards succeed for sure? The wizards cannot discuss their strategy beforehand.(Mikhail Evdokimov)
