"Oh, how pleasant!", the sphinx exlaims. "You're already the second traveler today to show interest in my broad knowledge. I will reward you with tea lights, if you can solve this." Her smile broadens. "But if you guess wrong, you're certainly going to be a delicious meal." Yeah. Absolutely no pressure. The sphinx pauses and thinks for a moment.
A farmer in California owns a beautiful pear tree. He supplies the fruit to a nearby grocery store. The store owner has called the farmer to see how much fruit is available for him to purchase. The farmer knows that the main trunk has 24 branches. Each branch has exactly 12 boughs and each bough has exactly 6 twigs. Since each twig bears one piece of fruit, how many plums will the farmer be able to deliver?
