n + 1 pegs, where n is the number of nappies

Most mornings I peg out nappies on the line. I use fewer pegs if each nappy shares a peg with its neighbour. We have many pegs, but it feels good to economise.

How many pegs are required? Well, if you have four nappies, you need five pegs.

n+1, in fact.

After I idly realised that, I took it as a sign that my mind is still a little active, in parts.
