When you count in base ten, a 1 in the second column from the right means ten -like the same number of fingers and toes most people are born with. But when you count in base twenty, it means twenty, i.e. twice that many. when you count in base sixteen, it means the number of limbs the Beatles had. etc

monster was just preempting a cheater who might submit 50 names and claim that it was 10 names and he was only counting in base 50.

I'll have to compete with only 3 names this year. I'm too out of the loop and over whelmed by things to come up with more names.

You got it!

I think McHale's Navy was also the first time I saw the joke on how one shouldn't 'assume.'
