The unusual thing about this number is that the most common phrases that use it are wrong. That is, while someone may often say there are X As in a B, the actual number is not X.



What number am I thinking of?



Hint 1:




"There are X As in a B", but almost every B contains at least X + 2 As.




Hint 2:




"There are X Cs in a D" but a D always contains between X + 0.1 and X + 0.3 Cs

          A number which fits is




          $52$




          Hint 1:




          There are $52$ cards in a deck, but almost all standard decks are sold with an extra two or three jokers, as some card games need these.




          Hint 2:




          It's said there are $52$ weeks in a year, but a year has 365 or 366 days and,
          $365/7 approx 52.14...$ and $366/7 approx 52.28...$
