I'll join the crowd voting for 6, the first perfect number.

And 13, because when would you NOT use a pike as a weapon? (Unless it's a
fish.)

Vox pop says it's 6. But if 4, 7 and 10 had been combined, then that would
be the favourite. I'll throw votes at 7 and 10.

I have a slight problem with waiting for the deadline (Monday Sept 1st)
because by my calculations the next time that happens is 2014 - oh well, I'd
better vote anyway:

As there is no blue and I'm trying to determine the true then I'll go for
something old and something new #3 and #10 please

No time to mull it over, so vox pop for me: 6 and 10, please.

Oh, my! It sounds Germanic, so I'll go for #6, and #10 assuming OHG means
old high German.
