Python list having length larger than expected

One would assume this has length 2*(60-18+1) = 86, but it gives 100 when using len(obj):

import numpy as np;
series = ['{0}{1:02d}'.format(gender,age) for gender in ['M','F'] for age in np.linspace(18,60,dtype=int)]
print(len(series))

The question is, why?

NumPY's linspace has an optional third argument which is the amount of samples to pull from the start to finish, by default it is 50, and with 2 Genders it would generate 100. To change it to what amount you would like, add a third argument with the amount you want per gender.
