It will depend on BB's hand and to a certain extent the cards exposed and how they interact with eachother.
It will also vary by the board texture and any prior information we have on villain's range because obviously some cards interact more with the hidden information than others so provide more information about the current game state than others.
For example there are clearly hands that are +EV when all information is hidden (QQ+, AK, etc) so the answer is 0 cards in that respect.
I guess if you just mean guaranteed in the context of that 1 hand we have to go back to the board/range interaction.

2. What if both players know of the extra info the blind has. How many cards must he see now?[/QUOTE]
Do both players know the cards that were exposed or the other player simply knows the player saw exposed cards?
I assume the former because it's more interesting. If the latter then the player should ask for a redeal.
If the information of exposed cards is shared then I think it becomes a more abouy the interaction of the board cards and the player's ranges. Whichever player's range is narrowed and capped the most by the cards already exposed would seem to be at the disadvantage.
