Three Bricklayers (Posted on 2013-06-21) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A small company with three bricklayers is hired to build a barbecue. Each worker can lay a certain integer number of bricks per minute. The company could assign any combination of 1, 2 or all 3 workers to the job, and each combination would complete the barbecue in a different integer number of minutes.

What is the minimum number of bricks in the barbecue?
