Ok, I'll be serious for a second.  BUT ONLY A SECOND!! 

You don't have a predefined "number" of spirit guides.  Nobody does. 
You simply have "whatever you need".  If one specific guide you work with doesn't have an answer for you, then you'll find something/someone else who does.

My view one guides is slightly different than most.  Well, actually... my view on MOST things differs slightly from most.  LOL
