In the song "Twelve Days of Christmas" a person is gifted with many legged creatures. In fact, in only one departure from living creatures does the gift giver give the receiver a non-legged item, the 5 golden rings. In total, the number of legs that are given to the receiver in the song is 648. There is an argument to be made that as the eight maids were "a'milking" then you should include the cows legs, which would make it 808 legs. The maids would be sitting on three legged stools. If those are also included the total would be 928 legs!

I've heard several different versions of the song, mixing up which gifts were given on which days. The version with which I'm most familiar includes twelve drummers, eleven pipers, ten lords, nine ladies and eight maids, totaling 50 humans mentioned. But that's just on the twelfth day. If, for example, eight different maids a-milking were given on each of the ninth through twelfth days, the total would be...12 + 2 * 11 + 3 * 10 + 9 * 4 + 8 * 5= 12 + 22 + 30 + 36 + 40= 140That's a lot of people to be giving as gifts. I hope they went willingly. ;)

78 in total you see day 1 is 1, day 2 is 2 for a total of 3 day 4 is four for a total of 7 this is kinda a trick question because the tag line is and a partridge in a pear tree. It is not an additional gift it is the day one gift.
