McNugget Math

The folks at MathWorld have an entry for the McNugget Number, which are the integers that can be expressed as multiples (or linear combinations) of the denominations of McNugget orders. I personally find this kind of recreational mathematics to be quite amusing, especially when it deals with food. Originally, the McNugget's could only be ordered in boxes of 6, 9, and 20. This yielded many numbers of McNuggets to be impossible to obtain. But, now the selections have been expanded to 4, 6, 9, and 20, which makes it possible to get more integer numbers of McNuggets. You know, for those moments when you must need 22 McNuggets, no more, no less.
