I'll give you the answers to the first two. You'll get the idea. Most of them are pretty obscure though.

Thanks. 

Got it.  A few more:

  • 4:  12 Signs of the Zodiac!
  • 6:  52 Cards in a Pack
  • 18: 12 Months in the Year

I can solve quite a few others but how does the list help in the 'War of Words' duel?
