1) Pick up 10 coins 2) Throw them down on a tabletop 3) Point at the first one and start counting 4) Do the same for the second one 5) Do the same for the third one 6) Do the same for the fourth one 7) Do the same for the fifth one 8) Do the same for the sixth one 9) Do the same for the seventh one 10) Do the same for the eighth one 11) Do the same for the ninth one 12) Do the same for the tenth one
Did you notice that, like this list, you didn't start with the number zero? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
It's not hard. You'll notice that your first number ends with "1", and the last number ends in "0". Thus, a "decade" (which is just a fancy name for "ten years") starts with a number that ends in "1" and ends in a number that ends in "0".

FFS, this isn't rocket science.
