But it literally did nail it?
It's giving you a list of the items that were received in the 12 Days of Christmas. And it's correct.
12*1=12
11*2=22
10*3=30
And so on.
If you wanted the lyrics, that's a different question.
so it's "Ackshully as a Service", gotcha
☝️🤓aaS
Ackshully... It should be: "AaaS".
I think it's Ass.
Good bot
The emoji was standing in for the “A” for “ackshully”
Only if you assume that everything on the list was additive to the initial gifts every time. I think you can infer from the context of the song, the holiday, how gift-giving works, etc. that they were just appending to the list of gifts each day.
But those are the sort of things that LLMs are incapable of doing.
That's what the lyrics say though.
On the X day of Christmas my true love gave to me, X [item], X-1 [item], etc.
The song explicitly states they give this stuff every day.
I’ve never assumed that interpretation. I always thought the gifts were given each day. So you end up with twelve partridges and pear trees at the end. The song says “on the nth day of christmas my true love gave to me” doesn’t that imply you are receiving all those gifts that day?
Kinda did depending on how you look at it. 5 golden rings is said 8 times, for a total of 40. Same appears to be true for all the other items but I'm not checking them all.
In the song that's what they send every single day two French hens every single day are sent so yeah at the end they do send a lot of French hens.
Is the pear tree included? Do I get one pear tree? 12 pear trees? No pear tree? This might be a dealbreaker, so take your time answering.
It's assumed that you already have a pear tree; the partridges are just being installed into your pre-existing tree. Don't be greedy. Mature fruit trees are expensive.
Unless it's a Bradford pear.
I mean.... It's not wrong, actually.
That's right though. Each day you get an increasing number of an item plus all the items from the previous days again.
Enjoy your birds.
Another classic example of a technically correct answer missing nuance and context.
christmas wouldn't be christmas without 42 geese
The honkening
So... did I miss the cooking time on this recipe? 350 for how long? And this recipe serves how many??? What is happening right now?!?!!???
I was always taught 350 for 2 hrs but will occasionally do 400 for 1.5 hrs if I'm in a hurry. Also I usually leave out the drummers, they get stuck in my food processor.
Damn, and I thought the original gift-giver in the song was already being totally unreasonable.
Can you imagine all the droppings their true love would have to clean up from all those birds?
This is entirely correct actually. Number of items on day n = (13 - n)*n
French Hens are just pretentious chicken fries
Pascal: "I am having the best Christmas right now."
This is embarrassing, bro
Natalie Cole's version of this does this at the end.
Did everybody get this as a maths problem nearly every year in primary school, and again in high school when triangle numbers were brought up?
I wonder if there is any pattern to those numbers
edit: ah I didn't notice, thanks all :)
It has totalled them as the items are sent everyday after they are introduced.
If n is the day the item is introduced, the total quantity is 42-(n-6.5)^2^.
Easier: n(13-n).
Start with 10 and subtract 2 for every step
gotta account for inflation
