1993 AIME Problem 3

The table below displays some of the results of last summer's Frostbite Falls Fishing Festival, showing how many contestants caught n\, fish for various values of n\,.

\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} n & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & \ldots & 13 & 14 & 15 \\ \text{number of contestants who caught} \ n \ \text{fish} & 9 & 5 & 7 & 23 & \ldots & 5 & 2 & 1 \\ \end{array}

In the newspaper story covering the event, it was reported that

(a) the winner caught 15 fish; (b) those who caught 3 or more fish averaged 6 fish each; (c) those who caught 12 or fewer fish averaged 5 fish each. What was the total number of fish caught during the festival?

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
