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?

Last time I checked you cannot get any plums from a pear tree.
I'm pretty sure you could get 1728 pears though.
Wonder if there is a trade in on those?
