Vote #140

The following question was presented:

As we say goodbye to Easter, we wish my Mum happy birthday this week .... does the Queen send you a letter this year or is it next? OK, jesting aside, as that is not this week's question. This week we move our attention to .... well, let's sidetrack again for a short moment - I was debating on asking the question that's on top of my mind - should I get a new phone or quit my job? The battery has all but given up in my phone and I can get a new phone through work, I just don't know if I'll be around long enough to get it ... even if they overnight it. But I jest again as that would be far too important a thing to burden the voters with. Instead, we turn to the stupid again. OK - now you're read all this, hopefully your brain is wandering which is good. To do this properly, you need to read this question really, really quickly and then make your answer. Ready ... Steady .... Go....

Analysis:

A look a-there, here she comes
Here comes that girl again
Wanted to date her since I don't know when
But she don't notice me when I pass
She goes with all the guys from outa my class
But that can't stop me from a-thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin' man, she's something else

Yep, the answer is “Something Else”. Most of you got there, but a few of you fell into the trap of following the vowels. Put simply, the question starts “Marie's father has five daughters ....” then goes on to list four of them. Well if four are listed, then Marie herself would be the fifth, so the absolute answer is “Marie”, but that wasn't presented as an option, so “Something Else” would be the correct answer.
