There are 364 gifts in total.
First day 1.
Second day 3 ( two turtle doves and partridge)
Third day 6 ( 3+2+1)
fourth day 10 ( (4+3+2+1)
FIfth day 15 ( 5+4+3+2=1)

twelfth day 78 (12+11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1) = 78.
78 – 1+2+3 etc etc
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12=78
The Twelve Days of Christmas – try and write down the gifts as each one is sung out. . .
1 A partridge in a pear tree
2 Turtle Doves
3 French Hens
4 Calling Birds
5 Golden Rings
6 Geese A-laying
7 Swans A-swimming
8 Maids A-milking
9 Ladies Dancing
10 Lords A-leaping
11 Pipers Piping
12 Drummers Drumming
So I guess you add all those up = 78
But I’m never sure if these are trick questions, that’s just my guess.
364!
On each day of christmas the gifts are re-given.
on the fourth day of christmas my true love gave to me… four calling birds, three french hens, two turtle doves and a partrage in a pear tree
Everyone is right. 78 would be the answer
364, because every day they give everything they gave on the previous day again and then add on the newest gift
364, because the gifts are given more than once… 78 is just 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12, which isn’t correct.
