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).

Empirically, 42.25 instead of 42.

How can you have 0.25 of an item when the song only has whole numbers?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Start with 10 and subtract 2 for every step
