Riddle Answer:
Barbie
Explanation: "Born in ‘59" ties to Barbie’s debut on March 9, 1959, "outfits vast and jobs galore" reflects her countless clothes and careers, and "plastic queen" describes her doll nature and iconic status.

Brain Teaser Answer:
The maximum number of Barbie Trios is 12, with 6 fashion dolls, 3 career dolls, and 0 dreamhouse playsets left over.
Explanation: Each trio requires 1 fashion doll, 1 career doll, and 1 dreamhouse playset. The limiting factor is the 12 dreamhouse playsets. So:

• 12 trios use 12 fashion dolls (18 - 12 = 6 left),

• 12 career dolls (15 - 12 = 3 left),

• 12 dreamhouse playsets (12 - 12 = 0 left).
  Thus, 12 trios are assembled, leaving 6 fashion dolls, 3 career dolls, and 0 dreamhouse playsets.
