    The no. of data is r + 12 + 20 + 10 = 42 + r

    The median is the (42 + r)/2 number, which is 4

    So, (42 + r)/2 > r + 12

    42 + r > 2r + 24

    r < 18

    However, when r = 17, (42 + r)/2 = 29.5, this means that the median is the average of 3 and 4, which is 3.5.

    So, the no. of possible values of r is 16

    r=0, median = 4

    r=1, median = 4

    ...

    r=17, median = 4

    r=18, median = (3+4)/2 = 3.5

    so, r = 0 ... 17, total 18 possible values
