A farmer in California own a beautiful pear tree. He supplies the fruit to a nearby grocery store. The store owner has called the farmer to see how much fruit is available for him to purchase. The farmer knows that the main trunk has 24 branches. Each branch has exactly 12 boughs and each bough has exactly 6 twigs. Since each twig bears one piece of fruit, how many plums will the farmer be able to deliver?

Hey, ----- I know that farmer, and I happen to know that he also has 5 plum trees as well as the beautiful pear tree (and when I say beautiful, man that tree was so damn pretty I wanted to marry it); so the answer is ------- none, because, whilst he has all these plum trees, the grocer who owns the shop on the other side of the road spoke to the farmer last month and bought all the plums in advance.

Let's see if I add all the up, the 24 times 12 times 6. That gives me 0 because plums don't grow on pear trees. Good try.

None. He can't take plums out of a pear tree!

Since it's a pear tree, not a plum tree, I would say zero plums!

He won't be able to deliver any plums because it is a pear tree.

It could still be 1728 as the store owner asked how much fruit is availble not specifically pears.

None, unless the pears turn into plums.
