The author writes:

Based on a Numerosity segment from Sesame Street, it counts five different sets of features.

I had used a picture of ten pins to see how Jon hits them, I used the Ten Sailor Guardians instead of "Ten Little Indians" (in later airings replaced with "Ten Bells") to make a reference to the Cleveland Indians changing its name to the Cleveland Guardians, and I used "Ten Bees" because CTW got away with using the wind-up toys more than once, so I used "Ten Bees" to allude to the man looking behind the doors in the other Numerosity segments.
