How many people did my true love send to me in the twelve days of Christmas?

364

the maths behind this is:

1=1

1+2=3

1+2+3=6

1+2+3+4=10

1+2+3+4+5=15

1+2+3+4+5+6=21

1+2+3+4+5+6+7=28

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8=36

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=45

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10=55

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11=66

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12=78

1+3+6+10+15+21+28+36+45+55+66+78=364

This means that there was one gift for every day of the year apart from Christmas Day itself!
