Mad Ade's Kebab Balls
On a nice summer day Mad Ade and his friend Demented Derek visit Chilliville, a small cultural resort of Madadia. They decide to have a drink at a local public house, the newly opened "Queens Legs" and, as an appetizer, a portion of traditional "Kebabsballs" (small balls of tender kebab meat stuffed with chili sauce and definitely not salad, deep fried in pita bread crumbs). The waiter tells them that the Kebabsballs can be served in portions of 6, 9, or 20.
What is the largest number of Kebabsballs that cannot be ordered in these portions?

i'm sorrie..i agree.it is quite dumb.besides, i don't understand the joke..well, smiley face for your effort anyway!!
kebabsballs sounds good. As for the teaser it was ok.
I think that what Mad Abe is saying is that every number greater than 43 can be made as some combination of multiples of 6, 9, and 20, (maybe). Interesting puzzle, but its a goofy story with a goofy way of asking the final question.
i couldnt answer decently because i was suddenly hungry
I don't get it
I'd like to go to the opening of "Queen's Legs" Get it?
That wasnt dumb, how could it have been dumb?
