After printing num_elf, include the word "elf". So for example, if num_elf were set to 1, the page should say "1 elf".

code_challenges/templates/code_challenges/list.html 
{{{num_elf|pluralize}elf}}

Use the third example in the pluralize docs to a the suffix of "f" (singular) or "ves" (plural):

You have {{ num_cherries }} cherr{{ num_cherries|pluralize:"y,ies" }}.

except you'll use "f" and "ves" as the alternative suffixes
