A number that can be obtained by adding McDonald's ordersKip McNuggets(before consuming one), which originally came in boxes of 6, 9 and 20. All integers are McNugget numbers except 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 22, 23, 25, 28, 31, 34, 37 and 43. Since the happy meal-size nugget box (4 per box) is now available for purchase separately, the modern McNugget numbers are a linear combination of 4, 6, 9 and 20. These newfangled numbers are much less interesting than before, with just 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11 are left as non-McNugget numbers.
OfGreedy algorithmcan be used to find a McNugget extension of a particularRound number.
