Chook Me!

counting chicken wings?

at annie's home cooked chicken wings resturant, chicken wings are served by the bucket. The biggest bucket O' wings is really big! Lets figure out how many wings are in it!! If They're removed two at a time one wing will be left. If they're removed three at a time, two wings will remain. If they're removed four, five, or six at a time then three, four, and five wings respectively remain. If they're taken out seven at a time, no wings will be left. Whats the smallest possible number of wings that could be in the bucket? How do you know?

1. I obviously looked here, cuz I'm hungry! lol There would be none cuz people keep eating them all! Krazy Libra
2. The answer is 119. Because the amount has to end in a 9 (If 5 at a time are removed, 4 are left) and the number has to be divisible by 7. (49 doesn't work and 119 is the next lowest number divisible by 7)
