I have many numbers, usually 50. But, of those numbers, showing are only 13 minus 3.
I am usually heavy, though I am small in size. I can be used for storing a prize!
I come with a special code of sorts, usually numbers 3. Sometimes memorization can be hard, or easy!

What Am I?
Answer
A combination lock.Combination locks come with around 50 numbers on them. 13-3 is 10, which is the number of the numbers on the actual dial, the others are represented by notches.
Locks are heavy, being made from steel, and small. Locks could be put on a cabinet to store your prize.
With a lock comes your code, which you need to know to open it.

nice. understanding it self took several readings. I thought it is some thing like pass word. but the answer is convincing.
I got it on the first try because of the last line, but then again i have too memorize three for school
I said combination padlock but I still gave myself a pat on the back.
I had padlock before as an answer, but they thought combo lock was better.
kinda funny...like weird...but still okay i guess...
could it be pi?
Good one.
Great teaser. thought it was pretty easy, though........still it was fun!
Good one.

This is not the 18th century. You do not need to prose up your obvious clues to make it seem mroe like a riddle.
Cute, but I didn't get it.
I never think about padlocks, so I don't know the "particulars." I never would have gotten this one. But it is a good teaser for people who have some idea of what you are talking about!
I think a SAFE is more appropriate since the clues said I can be used to store a prize. You can't store anything inside a combo-lock.
The 13 - 3 part was confusing, I must say.
I liked that one.
Nice and easy. Thanks for posting.
thought SAFE as well...
I see how it can be safe, i didn't think that though. "twas pretty easy.
I am wondering how many people know about padlocks. This was a strange one to me as the ordinary person has no reason to know about one. Not the best of teasers.
This might be easy for students as they need such locks for their school lockers. *I* didn't have a clue. It was clever, though, and I liked it but was eager to see the answer. I never would have gotten it on my own!
