There were only three to begin with, and the first one had already been exploded at Los Alamos. They figured they could drop one and Japan would say "Yeah, that's a neat trick, but can you do it twice?" and hoped that, after the second one, no-one would say "Okay, you can do it twice, but what about a [i]third[/i] time?".
