Maybe the answer to 5 is really 6 and the answer is 42??   ..If there's a gimmick I sure as hell don't see it.

However, since the band had 4 members, the answer is the same.   As for Enid Blyton, I had never heard of her or her famous five, but according to Google, she was a children's author, and her famous five consisted 4 kids and a dog.   So I get 1 + 4 + 10 + 10 + 4 = 29.
