    internal class Program

        private static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            Dictionary<string,>> namesInfo = new Dictionary<string,>>()
                                                          {
                                                              {"howard", new List<int> {{5}, {5}, {2}, {4}}},
                                                              {"John", new List<int>{{1},{2},{3},{5}}}

                                                          };

                        from nums in l.Value

Not exactly sure what are the preferred results, but could you use something like:

C#

Dictionary<string,List<int>> namesInfo 
   = new Dictionary<string,List<int>>() {
       {"howard", new List<int> {{5}, {5}, {2}, {4}}},
       {"John", new List<int>{{1},{2},{3},{5}}}
   };

var list4 = from l in namesInfo.Where(a=>a.Value.Contains(4))
            select new {
               l.Key
            };
