On the first day of Christmas, my true love brought to me:<br />
On the first day of Christmas<br />
My true love gave to me<br />
A partridge in a pear tree</p>
<p>On the second day of Christmas<br />
My true love gave to me<br />
Two turtle doves<br />
And a partridge in a pear tree</p>
<p>Thus go the first two couplets of a traditional Christmas song. Question is:<br />
Haw many things did my true love give me over these 12 days?  (counting the partridge in the pear tree as one item)</p>
