How many gifts are given in total in the song the twelve days of christmas?

It's not 78 as some people say, it's 364 because it's an accumulative song with each verse building on the last. The first verse has 1 gift, the second verse has 2 + 1 gifts. The third verse has 3 + 2 + 1 gifts etc until the last verse which has 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1. Thereby giving a total of 364 gifts. If you received all the gifts as stated in the song for each day, you would actually have 364 gifts: Partridges: 1 × 12 = 12 (one each day for 12 days) Doves: 2 × 11 = 22 (two each day for 11 days) Hens 3 × 10 = 30 Calling birds: 4 × 9 = 36 Golden rings: 5 × 8 = 40 Geese: 6 × 7 = 42 Swans: 7 × 6 = 42 Maids: 8 × 5 = 40 Ladies: 9 × 4 = 36 Lords: 10 × 3 = 30 Pipers: 11 × 2 = 22 Drummers: 12 × 1 = 12 Total = 364


How do you add up gifts from 12 days of Christmas?

Add up the number of each day for the 12 days. (1+2+3+4+5+6.....+11+12) You will ultimately get a total of 78 items. Answer: 78 items is what you get on Day 12. If you listen, on day 1, it's the partridge in a pear tree. But on day 2 it's two turtle doves AND a partridge in a pear tree. By day 12, you have 12 partridges + 22 turtle doves + 30 french hens +...It's 364 items, one for each day of the year!


How many presents are given out in total over the twelve days of Christmas?

* 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 golden rings, 
 * Four calling birds, 
 * Three French hens, 
 * Two turtle doves, 
 * And a partridge in a pear tree! This is a tricky one. There are two schools of thought on the number of gifts. On the first day there is one gift. On the second we have the start of the problem.... is it * Two turtle doves, 
 And * A partridge in a pear tree! Or just * Two turtle doves, 
 If it is just two turtle doves, and then on the third day just three French hens..... and so on, then the total is 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 which adds up to 78 If on the other hand it is two turtle doves and another partridge in a pear tree, and if each day all the previous gifts arrive with the new one, there is one gift on day 1, three on day 2, six on day 3..... 1 + 3 + 6 + 10 + 16 + 21 + 28 + 36 + 45 + 55 + 66 + 78 which adds up to 364
