I have a complicated algebra question

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-05-06] [Hit: ]
every number after 43 can be derived from 6,9, and 20, i believe,actually no, what you have to find is the highest prime number,......
McDonald's sells 6, 9, and 20 packs of Mc Nuggets. If the restaurant has an infinite supply, what is the maximum amount you CANNOT buy before any amount above that point is possible? Proof and reasoning required, and I need it within 3 hours. Also, say, 15 IS POSSIBLE.(A 6-pack and a 9-pack together).

5, you can by 6 so this means that it is no longer possible for you not to be able to buy more than 5

Sorry no, broken logic, 43, every number after 43 can be derived from 6,9, and 20, i believe, go through the sets

actually no, what you have to find is the highest prime number, since the supply is infinite the highest number of mcnuggets you can not by is not a Real Number(no derivative), therefore the answer to your question is infinity.

Sorry, I don't mean to sound offensive, "the point of an argument is not to win the argument it is to seek the truth" Plato

You don't understand me, the answer is infinity, reason being is that there exists a prime number which cannot be derived from 6,9, or 20, it can only be derived from 1 or itself, this number is so huge, that Calculus can not possibly put it on a graph.
