We say that a positive integer $n$ is [i]nice[/i] if we can split the numbers $1,2,\ldots,n$ into three sets, so that the sum of the numbers in each set is the same. For example, the number $12$ is nice because we can divide the numbers $1,2,\ldots,12$ into the sets $\left\{1,2,4,5,6,8\right\}$, $\left\{7,9,10\right\}$, and $\left\{3,11,12\right\}$, and the sum of the numbers in each set is $26$.
