wait - does this mean that each heart has a digit and you need to kill 20 men to get the complete code, in which case I would expect response time to increase or does it mean that each of the men has a redundant code so that in case one of them is on the toilet they can still kill another one and fire the nukes without any delays?

I think it is that they were forced to kill themselves. So 20 at once, rather than one at a time.

the joke is that Putin has ordered the innocents to "remove it themselves" in a fire drill.

Compare 1 individual taking out digits one by one vs 20 individuals taking out 1 digit each.
