The program is a little bit bigger  than the Ti-86 version due to more advanced menus, but still works perfectly and has the same basic feel.

Keys
F1- Find the 2nd and 3rd numbers
F2- Find the 1st and 3rd numbers
F3- Find the 1st and 2nd numbers
F4- Check if the combination you have is valid
F5- Exit

third.89t is an on-calc copy of third.txt.  Just use the builtin text editor.

Any feedback directed to Nathan Hancock would be greatly appreciated. Randy Gluvna no longer programs or has anything to due with Ti calculators.

Thanks to Randy Gluvna for writing the original program and allowing me to post the Ti-89 version.
