My birthday is on the 23rd day of the month. I drew a calendar and numbered each day on the calendar with Hershey kisses. I added up the first row and got 28. I added up the second row and got 77. Then I added the 1st and 2nd row totals: 28+77=105. That's not enough. Next, I added the 3rd row up and got 126. I added 105+126=231. Still not enough. The forth row started with the 22nd day, so I added 231+22=253. Still not enough! Then, I added the 23rd day: 253+23=276!! Finally! So, on the 23rd day of the month it's my birthday.

I think the birthday is on the twenty-third. I got this by adding days onto each other until I reached the sum of 276 on the twenty-third day. Comments are closed.
