Puzzle 197 


As my autumnal birthday approaches I like to collect leaves! A little bizarre perhaps, but I enjoy it!

Starting on the first day of the month I collect 1 leaf, on the second day I collect 2 leaves, the third day I collect 3 leaves, and so on.

On my birthday, I will have collected 276 leaves altogether. Which day of the month is my birthday?

Bonus Question: if I keep collecting one more leaf each day, how many days would it take for me to collect 56,616 leaves?
