How many do you think it is? Can you think of a way to structure this question using things you've learned recently in class?

We can help you with your problems when you're stuck. We can review your answers and let you know if you're right or wrong. We won't do your homework for you. Try taking a stab at it first, and post the answer you get, along with how you got it.

(1 x 2) + (2 x 3) + (3 x 4) +... + (12 x 13) = 2 + 6 + 12 + 20 + 30 + 42 + 56 + 72 + 90 + 110 + 132 + 156 = 728 legos needed.
