Hi Mel, indeed i thought of generalising the theorem as follows: If it is possible to buy n, n+1,…, n+(x-1) sets of McNuggets, for some x, then it is possible to buy any number of McNuggets >= x, given that McNuggets come in x, y and z packs.
so with diophantine_nuggets(7,10,21) i would need 7 passes result:53 but with (10,20,30) and 10 passes i get no result so i'm not sure i'm on the right path... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
