> Black holes by comparison are quite simple: describle with three quantities (mass, spin, electric charge).
For an actual black hole (vs. theoretical-in-a-vaccuum one), I believe 2 other number are required - to specify which way the spin axis points. [EDIT - still not right. 11 numbers are needed to cover everything; see my Wikipedia cite below.]

Obvious "50-10" typo. But beyond ~6 Solar masses total, at least one of the two object will have long-ago collapsed into a black hole.
