how about a guessing game?

You know B is always at least equal to A and C, and that A and C are factors of B. Sometimes your test fails when B is strictly larger than (in other words, not equal to) A and C, but not always. Most of your tests have involved either A or B being equal to C (or its opposite). Your tests always fail when B is negative.

Also: just noticed most of your tests have A being a factor of C or vice versa.

I am not without mercy. You have been resurrected if you still wish to play.
Noted. I think I'll try some more with this information.

4, 8, 2

3, 12, 4

-3, 9, -9
 
Ok, so B does not need to have the same absolute value as A or C. Interesting. Now I need to figure out why triplets like "4, 8, 2" don't work.

5, 20, 4

1, 8, 4

-2, 10, 5
 
Ok. So now to figure out why "1, 8, 2" doesn't work. I feel like I'm getting close, but I feel there's still something I haven't quite discovered yet.

8, 40, 5

4, 36, 18

10, 100, 50
 
Ok, something is going on when either A or C is a factor of the other but neither has the same absolute value of B. I know there's something much simpler I am probably overlooking, but I don't manage to see it yet.
