Resolution criteria

This market resolves to the intended answer to the riddle posed in the question prompt.

• "What" resolves YES if the sentence "What.Is the 5ths name" is treated as a statement of fact (i.e., the fifth brother's name is "What").

• "Friday" resolves YES if the riddle follows the sequential days-of-the-week pattern (Monday through Friday).

• "Sunday" resolves YES if the creator establishes "Sunday" as the intended answer.

• All other options resolve NO.

The market will be resolved by the creator based on their intended solution. If the creator does not specify an alternative resolution within a reasonable timeframe, standard riddle conventions treat "What" as the intended answer given the punctuation.

Background

This question is based on a classic trick riddle:

"A man has 5 brothers. The first is named Monday, the second Tuesday, the third Wednesday, the fourth Thursday. What is the fifth's name."

In the traditional riddle, "What" is phrased as a declarative statement indicating the fifth brother's name is literally "What," rather than an interrogative sentence asking for the name. However, listeners often assume the sequence continues through the calendar days to "Friday."
