Each day they recite what was gifted to them. Each day they get all the gifts of the days before plus a new gift. So, for example, the first day you get a partridge. But on the second day you get two turtle doves and a partridge. So now you have 3 partridges and two turtle doves. Repeat as the days go up. So the total number of any given item will be equal to the number given times the result of 13 minus the day it was given, or Total = N(13-d). So golden rings is 5(13-5) which is 40. Partridges is 1(13-1) which equals 12. Etc etc.

I’ve been looking to find good data on housing. For example, for a given city, how much has the population, income (household and individual), housing supply, housing prices, interest rates, etc changed in the last few years.

It would be cool to see what companies have been buying residential properties too so I can get a good picture of what the housing outlook will be like.

Housing has been my biggest financial burden in the last few years. I hope to be able to work on this some day, but I don’t have much time or experience in data analytics. I’m not sure what conclusions I could draw without oversimplifying things. I truly don’t believe inflation is entirely, or even a large reason for the cost of living. If any reputable websites have put this together, it would be nice to see.

I think 14carat gold plated rings can still be advertised as "gold rings." One of the properties of gold is that it can be hammered really thinly and still be useable, hence if you want to be cheap you just use a really thin layer. Edible gold leaf on desserts is a thing and actually isn't as expensive as you might guess due to the extreme thinness of the gold.
