A wanted to buy some stamps. Stamps, in the land of Pymm are available in 3p, 9p, 11p, 17p and 21p denominations. For three types of stamp A was asked to buy eight of each. For the other two types of stamps, A was asked to buy nine of each. Unfortunately A forgot which he was supposed to buy eight of and which to buy nine of.
Luckily A had the exact money required to buy the stamps, £5.00 and the shopkeeper was able to give him the correct stamps.
