Careful with the "brides in a wedding" bit. In Scandanavia, that could be 0 or 1. In other parts of the world, that could be 1-3. *shrugs*

I would think that better are thing like "eggs in a dozen". (Though, you have to be careful not to say "loaves of bread in a dozen", cause that's 13.)

Your second question is a little confusing - is the answer 7 or 9?

And, your first question can have some argument (if you're talking SG-1, of course ...)

Maybe even better is to provide something like: 

A*B*C*D*E

Please provide the Nth letter (after "C")

That, to me, would be blind-friendly, foreigner-friendly, and still requires NLP (due to the question which changes every time).
