Hey all,

In a certain game, a team can make scores 3 and 8 only.
a) List the total scores that are impossible for a team to attain.
b) What is the largest score that is impossible to attain?
c) How do you know that this score is the largest?

I need help solving this problem...if someone could help me get started (or step-by-step) that would be great!
 
Interesting problem.

You could start looking for the impossible scores:

1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 10, ...
