exercise: given that packs of McNuggets can only be bought in 6, 9 or 20
packs, write an exhaustive search to find the largest number of
McNuggets that cannot be bought in exact quantity.
Is this a trick question?
I'd like to see somebody try to buy exactly 10**100**100 (1 googleplex)
McNuggets. And that's not even close to the largest number that you can't
buy.
If you'd looked at the link then you would've seen that it's
mathematically possible.
But then I expect you have a life! :-)
