  1. 11? You can't make 1, 2, 4, 7, or 11. Not sure of the theory, but I could make every other number up to 50...My guess is you could make every number above that too.


  2. A zillion point five.

    If the score has to be an integer then....7

  3. The largest impossible score?  

    Does this "game" go up to a certain score?  Since numbers go on forever, one can generate infinite number of high scores, so there will nver be a highest one.

  4. 4?

    that would be impossible...

    or did you really mean possible?

  5. 7

  6. there is no largest number. every number that is not divisible by 3 and 5 is an impossible score.

    an example would be 2°n (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, ... )
