Shelly writes down a vector v=(a,b,c,d)v=(a, b, c, d), where 0<a<b<c<d0<a<b<c<d are integers. Let σ(v)\sigma(v) denote the set of 24 vectors whose coordinates are a,b,ca, b, c, and dd in some order. For instance, σ(v)\sigma(v) contains (b,c,d,a)(b, c, d, a). Shelly notes that there are 3 vectors in σ(v)\sigma(v) whose sum is of the form (s,s,s,s)(s, s, s, s) for some ss. What is the smallest possible value of dd ?
