700 and 300 sound like a type of cultural history, like 700 wives and 300 concubines of Somebody

This wont be it: But maybe closer

81 Cards in a S Deck (20 is the M number of Cards without a S) -> 81 Cards in a Samba Deck (20 is the Minimum number of cards without a Score)

It will not be Samba. I did think "Standard" as well, but that would be 52-54 unless we are talking a standard deck of five suits or soemthing.

A17 32 Letters in the Polish Alphabet (23 of them are consonants)

    A Polish immigrant goes to the DMV to apply for a driver's license.

    He has to take an eye sight test.

    The optician shows him a card with the letters "C Z W I X N O S T A C Z."

    "Can you read this?" the optician asks.

    "Read it?" the Polish guy replies, "I know the guy."

I'm sure it isn't this, but it may give someone an idea..

8 = Number of Dead Octopus's Arms and Legs

If the question was N of L T's A and L, this would be the answer...

Replace Dead with Doctor and it's probably correct. It helps to know some Spiderman.

If G R is Gene Rodenberry then I'm probably no help. Hopefully someone else is more familiar with that person's work.

For D14, is 14 months too early to ask for a hint?
Or did something happen to l'lanmal that I don't know about?
It's driving me slightly more crazy than usual.
