I bet you can't figure out this one...

You have nine numbers that should fit into this circle. But there is a catch.
1. 3 numbers in any straight line should add up to 45
2. Don't repeat any number
3. There is only one solution
4. It took me about 4 minutes to figure it out.
There is a way to reason through it using math and you don't have to spend a lot of time guessing.
You can thank Common core for this shite.
I'll post the answer in about 1 hour if none of the nerdy people on here doesn't figure out the solution.

Just add or can we subtract as well?

No subtracting. No dividing. No multiplication.

Took me 11 seconds to come up with 15 in the middle and then combinations of 30'in the straight lines along the outside. Is that right?

The answer is 11, retards

15 goes in the middle starting at the top and working clockwise the numbers are 21, 24, 12, 3, 9, 6, 18, 27.

I did this a couple of times and no other combination worked to get 45.

Starting from the top circle, just below the 21, and going right (center listed last):
3
24
9
18
27
6
21
12
15
eta:
The outside numbers can be in any order, as long as 15 is in the center and the cross numbers are paired to equal 30 (3/27, 24/6, 9/21, 18/12)

Yep. Multiples of 3. Middle one (15) in the center, biggest and smallest remaining ones opposite each other.
