1. 3, I guess
2. 1, and that episode would be 10 times better than the others
3. 1, and that episode would be 100 times better than the others
4. 100,000. 100 if they take KJA's place in writing them.

Write a Good SWvs.ST. Fanfic
1 Rabid monkey from the Brotherhood should be enough to do the trick

Write an Episode of Voyager
1 average monkey from the zoo

Write an Episode of Enterprise
1 seriously messed up monkey that was used for cruel animal testing

Write Starwars 7-9
Several Rabid monkeys from the Brotherhood or a few hundred thousand regular monkeys.
