I have four 3¢-stamps and three 5¢-stamps. Using one or more of these stamps, how many different amounts of postage can I make?
first to answer correctly gets best response.

O.K. I will give it another try and hope you will give me best response just on general principal and for participation being as Im the only one who has bothered to answer/LOL well you can get 12cent amount out of the four 3 cents and one 15 out of the three 5 cents stamps. and all together you can get 27 cents.And one 3cent stamp and one 5 cent makes a 8 cent stamp or the four 3 cent stamps and three 5 cents stamps can make three 8 cent stamps and three one cent stamps.. Got it? or is this confusing? well this is what I got I hope this answers your riddle. Im all confused myself..LOL
