amounts that cant be divided into portions of 6, 9 or 20:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 22, 23, 25, 28, 31, 34, 37, 43

every number after that can be ordered:

44 = 20 + 4 x 6

45 = 5 x 9

46 = 2 x 20 + 6

999 = 48 x 20 + 5 x 6 + 9

29156712 = 1457835 x 20 + 2 x 6

took me ~5 min to solve with a Texas TI Nspire CX Cas 180€ calculator :dumb:
