Daily Puzzle – May 08 


?

Yesterday I was asked to buy some stamps.

In the land of BrainBashers, stamps are available in denominations of 4p, 5p, 7p, 12p, and 19p (just the five different values).

For three denominations of stamps, I was asked to buy six of each. For the other two denominations. I was asked to buy ten of each.

Unfortunately, I forgot which I was supposed to buy six of, and which to buy ten of!

Luckily I had been given the exact money required to buy the stamps, £3.50, so the shopkeeper was able to work out the stamps I needed.

Which stamps did I have to buy?
