can anyone please give help? I have this question that I need to answer for extra credit for my math class. Here it is:
In Xenon basketball, "a" points are given for a free throw and "b" points are give for a field gold, where "a" and "b" are both positive integers. Suppose "a" and "b" are unknown, but known that "a" and "b" are neither equal to 2 and that there are precisely 65 unattainable scores. Can you determine "a" and "b"?
Note: I have already figured out that "b" cannot be a multiple of "a" or vice versa.

Do not mention. No one cares.
