Not a golfing solution, but one that doesn't assume an upper bound (although it will loop forever if there's no finite answer):
use strict;
use warnings;
use Test::More 'no_plan';
$| = 1;
my %cache;
sub exact {
my ($amount, @bills) = @_;
return $cache{$amount} if defined $cache{$amount};
return 1 if !$amount;
return 0 if $amount < 0;
foreach my $bill (@bills) {
return $cache{$amount} = 1 if exact($amount - $bill, @bills)
}
return $cache{$amount} = 0;
}
sub largest {
%cache = ();
my @bills = @_;
my $smallest = $bills [0];
return -1 if $smallest == 1;
my $start = 0;
my $prev = 0;
for (my $t = 1; 1; $t++) {
if (exact($t, @bills)) {
if ($prev) {
if ($t - $start + 1 == $smallest) {return $start - 1}
}
else {$start = $t}
$prev = 1;
}
else {
$prev = 0;
}
}
}
is (largest(6,9,20), 43);
is (largest(3,5), 7);
is (largest(6,11,20), 27);
is (largest(17,18,19,20), 101);
is (largest(2,3,5,10), 1);
is (largest(1000,1001,1002,1003,1004,1005), 199999);
