Problem

McDonald’s used to sell Chicken McNuggets in boxes of 6, 9 or 20 in the UK before they introduced the Happy Meal. What is the largest number of Chicken McNuggets that could not be bought? For example, you wouldn’t have been able to buy 8 Chicken McNuggets, but you could have bought \(21 = 6+6+9\) Chicken McNuggets.
