The 9 digits: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

PAIR = 2 digits in ascending order; example 37 ; 1st digit < 2nd digit
So there are 36 PAIRs using the 9 digits:
12, 13, 14, ... , 78, 79, 89

3DN = 3 digit number, digits in ascending order; example 238 ; 1st digit < 2nd digit < 3rd digit
So there are 84 3DNs using the 9 digits:
123, 124, 125, ... , 679, 689, 789

A 3DN contains 3 PAIRs; example: 238 contains 23, 28 and 38

Your mission:
find 12 3DNs that together will contain all 36 PAIRs.

Not many alike, I'm glad you didn't want all the same ones, it took long enough to figure that combination out.
