3. The first number is one less than twice the 2nd number.
4. The 2nd number plus the 3rd number equals 10.
5. The sum of all of the numbers is 30.

Based upon the clues above, what is this CST employee's magic passcode for entering the facility?

The first 5 individuals to email this hypothetical employee's magic passcode (in the correct order) will be awarded a CST prize!
