小知识

Whether you call it 40 or XL, you're talking about forty: the number between thirty-nine and forty-one.

If you’ve ever seen the Roman numeral XL, that means forty, since X equals ten, L equals 50 and if you put the X before the L it means L minus X or 50 minus 10 — which is 40. This number comes up in the Bible a lot, especially when the earth is said to have been flooded for forty days and forty nights. Most people are not that thrilled to turn 40 years old: it means they're middle-aged.
