I'll take #3 because I don't know what a pice is, but it looks like it's
three pies, and I'm hungry.
And I have real estate under contract so I'll tack on #6 hoping I can
use that term at the title company today.

Despite the undoubted attractions of the dungfork, I'll go with 1 & 17
instead:
1. Mutually beneficial arrangement; "win-win".
17. A traditional type of house formerly common in the Scottish Highlands,
the
Hebrides, and Ireland, generally built with double wall dry-stone walls
packed with earth and wooden rafters covered with a thatch of turf.

By a crude process of elimination:
11. A kind of government official in one of the former Indian states.
and
12. An extract from the root of the pepper plant Piper methysticum, valued
in Polynesia for its mild sedative and anesthetic properties.
