Mission impossible (Posted on 2013-04-03) Difficulty: 2 of 5
In a certain football contest the winner scores 3 points, the loser 0, and in the case of a draw each team scores 1 point.

Out of all "possible" final scores (0<R<3*n) for a team, participating in N games, how many final results cannot be achieved?

For N games the only unachievable result is 3N-1.
