1. The maximum number of bars that cannot be obtained is 47.
2. The number of interger amounts of bars that one cannot buy is 24.
3. If a and b are coprime positive integers then the maximum number of bars that cannot be bought is (a*b-a-b) bars.  Otherwise, an arbitrarily large number of bars cannot be bought.
