Where do you guys get this stuff from?

There is no combination of loads that can cause the the neutral current
to exceed the current in either of the hot legs alone. It is *always*
sufficient to have the neutral the same gauge as the hot legs in this
type of circuit.

Work it out! (And pay attention to the phase relationships!)
