Triangle and 9 digits puzzle

This puzzle comes from my good friend Amrith.

Fill the three vertices and two spots on each side of the triangle with the numbers 1 thru 9 (using each only once) such that each side adds up to 20.

Multiple solutions are possible.

What approach did you use (other than simple trial and error)?

Puzzle me this…

I get the idea behind branding the coffee “Starbucks”. But why put a brand label for the hot water? What, do they have to yell your name wrong before you get the hot water? Or is there no difference between their coffee and hot water? 🙂
