Arbitrary...
Winslow: After the toy hits the cymballs 53 times the bomb will blow off.
Oliver: 53, huh? Seems a little arbitrary, (random?)doesn't it?
Winslow: I filed 53 patents working for you. Queen industries made
millions, and I got nothing. 28 and counting. The toy has made 28 hits or 28 more to go?
