In Die Hard 3 they need to solve the riddle "21 out of 42" referring to the 21st president. However, there are 47 presidents, so they could never have solved this riddle.

Yeah this isn't c/badposting here. I'm merely pointing out that this is a very contrived way to point to a specific school.

Yet at the point of filming/when it was released, there were only 41 Presidents of the USA.

So, if they had just waited until today to perform the heist, John McClane would never have guessed it!
