My dictionary backs up the way I've always used it -- of a certain unspecified number (empahsis mine). I've certainly never heard of any rule regarding "some" referring to any given number.

Surely "Some of my fingers got sticky," cannot mean at least 6? And "Some of the people in the crowd were becoming impatient," seems to me to imply far more than 6. huh

Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.
