EDIT: Changed it a bit... 🎄🎁

Answer 2

So to be perfectly clear - on the first day it's just a partridge, on the second day it's two turtle doves, a partridge and the partridge from the other day and so on incrementally?
1: 1
2: 1 + (2 + 1) = 4
3: 1 + (2 + 1) + (3 + 2 +1) = 10

Answer 3

here it is... 🐍
I think in the Challenge description there is a typo: if input is 1000 the output should be 18, not 12...

Answer 6

@Kuba: Yes, exactly :)

Answer 7

@m abrate: If John kept receiving presents after the 12th day then yes, 18 would be the answer. But his True Love can afford to buy presents only for 12 days :)
