All right … solved it; if someone is interested here is the fixed code:

In the loop
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php $content = $post->post_content;
$paragraphs = explode(‘<p>’, $content);
$i = 0;
foreach ($paragraphs as $number){
$i++;
$q = $i – 1;
if ($i == 0) {
echo $q.$number;
}
}?>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
simple enough? btw. this does column splitting by <p> can be any tag though; hope this helps anyone.
