There is a large box containing less than 3000 jelly beans which you'd like to divide evenly and
put into bags. If you put 10 jelly beans in each bag, there is one short (missing) in the last bag. The
same is true if you put 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, or even 2 jelly beans in each bag. In all cases, there
is one short (missing) in the last bag. How many jelly beans are in the box?
