Impossible filleting problem?

Hi,
I took a test recently that I could not get thru. A part of it involved filleting the 3 edges that would be at one corner of a cube. The radii for the edges = 5, 18, and 20.
You could only use the "SHAPE FILLET" command and the "TRIM SUPPORT" options within the command had to be unchecked.

I got as far as adding the fillets, then splitting the flats of the cube back to those fillets (the TRIM command wouldn't work - "ambiguous error" ??).

So, my question is how do you deal with the 3 overhanging fillet surfs at the corner, on the outside of the cube to end up with an acceptible fillet??

Nothing worked that I tried.

Can anyone help me to learn how to do this? I thank you in advance if you can?
Sincerely,
JP
