1) [ashman63] 3-6-2008(54): Imagine if the number of presents you get increases with each birthday. So on your first birthday, you receive just one shell as a present, but the next year it increases to two shells as presents, and so on, increasing and increasing so by the time you're elderly, the number of shells you'll get as presents will have increased to an awful lot of presents. GOT IT YET? PRESENTS = SHELLS + INCREASE.
