In football (american, not soccer) if you have possession of the ball you can score 3 points with a field goal, or 6 points with a touchdown, which can be followed by 1 or 2 extra points. Thus, for example, you cannot manage a total score of just 2 points. (As a matter of fact, you could get this score with a "safety", but let's disregard this unlikely possibility and forget safeties.) What's the maximum unattainable score?

Another question: assuming you could only score field goals for 3 points and touchdowns for 7 points... what would then be the maximum unattainable score?
