Now look here, KP
I wish you wouldn\'t send me the same
354 presents each year
If I\'ve got my calculations right
I mean the 12 Days of Christmas
That\'s Day 1 - A partridge in a pear tree (Total so far: 1 present)
Day 2 - Two turtle doves AND a partridge... (2 presents on Day 2. Total so far: 1+2 = 3 presents)
On Day 3 add the totals for each day so far: 1+2 = 3
Day 3 - and so on (3 presents on Day 3. Total so far: 1+2+3 = 6 presents)
On Day 3 add the totals for each day so far: 1+3+6 = 10
And so on up to Day 12
See the video
Save me writing out each day\'s presents!
When you get to day 12 you should be adding
1+3+6+........up to Day 12\'s total
It should give you a grand total of 354, I think
I wouldn\'t mind if they were different gifts each years
But I got about 5,483 partridges
12,846 swans a-swimming
15,637 geese a-laying
And thousands of other things now
All in the song!
