I do believe there is an error in numbering somewhere. Or some sources may use an alternative numeration. But I vote for the error.

Technically speaking the scientific classification counts 50 or something like this paradigms of declension. But there are only 3 + non-declensional words in public schools (and 6 grammatical cases while the next 9 ones will be revealed to the students of linguistic universities only). The rest “strange” words are declared as exceptions.

Languages shall be taught terribly in every country and linguists shall act as if it is normal to look good. The general theory behind real languages is either extremely complicated or has not even been discovered yet. So they have to simplify things and this cannot but lead to different problems.
