You must not have "determined" kids that will get that 10-24 nut on the 10-32 bolt. Yeah sure, it'll go on...with enough torque.

Quoting for truth. As mentioned earlier in the thread, our solution to this problem is to just not buy 10-24 anymore, which removes the potential for the error in the first place. On a team as large as 449, it's just not worth the hassle for the few places where it's nice to have coarser thread.
