I know how to pluralize, but I have absolutely no idea what to do in an instance like this.

1 заяц, 2 зайца, 3 зайца, 5 зайцев, 100 зайцев, 123 зайца...
1 картина, 2 картины, 3 картины, 5 картин, 100 картин, 123 картины...
1 поле, 2 поля, 3 поля, 5 полей, 100 полей, 123 поля...
what's wrong with this? This is how Russian plurals work.

Раз уж вы лингвист-журналист-редактор-профессор журфака, объяснили бы девушке как правильно склоняются существительные с числительными)))

1. The working language of this community is English.
2. I am here to maintain the community, not to teach the language. Sometimes I answer some minor questions - as a mere native speaker only. I am not a language teacher. Yes, my teaching experience helps a bit in this. But this is not the point.
BTW, as a native speaker you should have known the difference between American "professor" and Russian "профессор". I am no профессор, I am a преподаватель :)
