Number 1 should be 78 (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12)
#1, nope, its: 364
He gets 78 things on the 12th day.
(1+3+6+10+15+21+28+36+45+55+66+78)
on the first day he gets one thing (1 thing). on the second day, he gets another one of those things plus 2 of the next (3 things). on the third day he gets another one of the first, 2 more of the second and 3 of the third (6 things).
