The funny thing is that the name 37 signals comes from a count of the signals from space have unexplained origins. So they picked their name long before they came up with that list that just happens to fit. (With one extra by starting at 0)

> that just happens to fit

pretty sure they forced it to fit, probably by padding the list.

More likely by truncating the list, since they felt they had to sneak one more in at zero.

A nice example of this. They didn't bid a round number, so it seemed like they knew what they were talking about.

Ah, that’s right, thanks for pointing this out. I misread a part of your comment at first.
