Problem

Bill can buy jags, jigs and jogs for \1\ and \7\?
Solution
Bill cannot purchase 7 jogs, because then he would only have one dollar left over and could not purchase at least one jag and one jig as well. However, Bill can purchase jogs if, for example, he also purchases 2 jags and 3 jigs.
Final answer
6
