16. This exchange from a movie reminds me a lot of 45:

May 2019

(In this scene, just after the breakup of the Soviet Union, two men walk through a warehouse full of AK-47 rifles and ammunition. Yuri is a somewhat unscrupulous arms dealer. Dmitri, his uncle, is a high ranking general in the former Soviet Army. As they walk, they discuss the rifles.)
YURI: How many Kalashnikovs do you have?
DMITRI: (referring to the inventory record he is carrying) 40,000.
YURI: (looking over Dmitri's shoulder) Is that a "4"? It doesn't look like a "4" to me. It looks more like a "1".
DMITRI: (missing the point) No, it's a "4".
YURI: It's whatever we say it is because no one else will know the difference. (Dmitri finally gets it.)
YURI: 10,000 Kalashnikovs for a battalion. Your stocks are dangerously depleted, Dmitri. You should order more from the factory.
DMITRI: Someone will work it out, Yuri. What happens then?
YURI: (shrug) We'll cut them in.
