At a certain nation-wide fast food chain, you can get chicken nuggets in boxes of 6, 9, and 20. What is the maximum number of nuggets you could ask for such that no combination of the 3 sizes will give you exactly what you wanted?

Oh I see! So basically, for the mathematically-impaired like myself, you proved that there definitely exists six consecutive numbers that can be achieved with boxes of 6, 9, and 20. And you gave 47 as an upper limit for an unreachable number, not as the actual answer.
Kinda neat that you gave a max value and TomM gave a minimum. :)
