A short note on the math of "The 12 Days of Christmas" is here: https://davidmeyer.github.io/qc/12_days_of_christmas.pdf. The LaTeX source is here: https://www.overleaf.com/read/ssswxrxftqvn (perhaps interesting because I had to write the Pascal's triangle with numerical values in LuaLaTeX because writing it in TikZ blows up when the number of rows in the triangle is greater than 7; see https://www.overleaf.com/read/tgkjgjnjhfjm). As always, questions/comments/corrections/* greatly appreciated.
Merry (almost) Christmas everyone!
