6 for 1 garden
11 for 2 gardens
16 for 3 gardens

You add 5 for each additional garden.

So for the first garden you need 5 + 1
for the second garden you need 5 + 5 + 1
and for the third you need 5 + 5 + 5 + 1

This suggests that if

is the number of stones and

is the number of gardens, the relationship:

holds.

For 18 gardens, just substitute 18 for

and do the arithmetic.
