12 Days Of Christmas Puzzle
12 Days Of Christmas Puzzle
The Puzzle:
12 Days Of Christmas
According to the traditional song, on the first day of Christmas (25th December), my true love sent to me:
. A partridge in a pear tree
On the second day of Christmas (26th December), my true love sent to me THREE presents:
. Two turtle doves
. A partridge in a pear tree
On the third day of Christmas (27th December and so on) my true love sent to me SIX presents:
. Three French hens
. Two turtle doves
. A partridge in a pear tree
This carries on until the the twelfth day of Christmas, when my true love sends me:
Twelve drummers drumming
Eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
A partridge in a pear tree
After the twelve days of Christmas are over, how many presents has my true love sent me altogether?

I think that's right. Havent
I think that's right.
Havent added it up formally but someone told me once it is worked out to be a present a day apart from Good Friday because you don't get a present on that "sad" day biblically. So for a normal year 365 - 1 = 364
