Question

How many gifts would you have if you received all the gifts mentioned in the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas"?

Answer 1

Alana has it right.



Day 1 = 1

Day 2 = 2 + 1= 3

Day 3 = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6

Day 4 = 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 =10

Day 5 = 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 15

Day 6 = 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 21

Day 7 = 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 28

Day 8 = 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 36

Day 9 = 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 45

Day 10 = 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 55

Day 11 = 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 66

Day 12 = 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 =78



1 + 3 + 6 + 10 + 15 + 21 + 28 + 36 + 45 + 55 + 66 + 78 = 364

Answer 2

Day 1 = 1 gift

Day 2 = 2 gifts

Day 3 = 3 gifts

Day 4 = 4 gifts

Day 5 = 5 gifts

Day 6 = 6 gifts

Day 7 = 7 gifts

Day 8 = 8 gifts

Day 9 = 9 gifts

Day 10 = 10 gifts

Day 11 = 11 gifts

Day 12 = 12 gifts



So 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12 = 78
