The growth rate of items per day may may seem absurd, but it’s actually much less than the acceleration in the 12 Days of Christmas song.

So assuming 25 advent calenders in the advent calender, each with the correct amount of days (1st has 25, 2nd has 24, etc), how many chocolates would there be in total?
(n*(n+1)/2 = 25*13 =325
Never mind the fact that the “correct” number of days on an advent calender is 24.
For one, it looks to me like the triangle numbers, which for triangle number Tn = (n+1) choose 2.
So for a correct nested advent calendar of 24 days, it’s T24 = (24+1) choose 2 = 300
Also, it appears that they created the terminal function that does that in a very compact notation, so another correct way to write down this sum is “24?” Where n? = n + (n-1)?
