Number Puzzle #46- One Jelly Bean Short -

Share this page on:
Puzzle Image 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?
Do you have a suggestion for this puzzle (e.g. something that should be mentioned/clarified in the question or solution, bug, typo, etc.)?
