An unexpected question can sometimes be hard to answer. Picture someone walking up to a farm stall and asking for exactly 60 eggs, but in an odd way: "Give me some boxes of 2, six times as many boxes of 1, and the rest in boxes of 5." Thrown for a second, the seller quickly gathers their wits and fills the order with a smile. Could you figure out their order?
