I'll guess at a couple of couplets

Spoiler for 4th

Spoiler for 6th

Are either of these even on the right track?

Spoiler for 4th
The words will sometimes lie,
But on numbers you can always count by.

I'll guess I, the symbol for the Imaginary Numbers set
(I think N, the Natural Numbers could also be a good guess)

Spoiler for 6th
As usual, don't go about this the usual way,
B/c by not the usual rules can I play.

I'm going to pretend it's really B*c and guess 'v'

Are either of these even on the right track?

Clever interpretation, lol...I totally love the last one . But actually, there's only one device for the entire riddle, that's the same for each couplet, and like the other riddles in the series, it doesn't require any guessing .

Women are definitely stronger. We are [Fe]males, after all...

Some of what makes me me is real, some of what makes me me is imaginary...I guess I'm just complex. ;P

Chromatic Witch links now on my 'About Me' page! Episode 2 is awaiting it's epic conclusion...are you up to the task?

as in "solving it by comparison"?

Yep, that is an important aspect of the device.
