Need help with a math "challenge"

I need help finding a set of natural numbers whose mean and mode are the same, but the median is different (meaning, median cannot be the same # as mode & mean)

TIA 🙂
 
open excel
use 3 seperate functions in 3 cells
1) =AVERAGE(A1:A20)
2) =MEDIAN(A1:A20)
3) = MODE(A1:A20)

randomly fill in numbers in cells A1:A20 until you get something you like

1, 1, 1, 13, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 19, 20, 20, 20, 20, 21, 21, 21, 22, 24

mean and mode = 16
median = 17.5
