It is - give or take - six months until Americans vote for which of Donald Trump or Joe Biden deserves a second term in the White House. Both have had their fair share of controversial comments, useful utterances and, well, remarkable remarks.

I therefore put the following six quotes of note from recent times before you. Your challenge is to pick out which of these were said by The Donald, and which were said by Dark Brandon! No cheating! Answers at 10pm Eastern European Summer Time on Tuesday.

I: "In my imagination, there is no complication. I dream about you all the time; in the night of celebration, the sweetest of sensation, thinking you could be mine. In my imagination, there is no hesitation; we work together hand in hand. I'm dreaming you fell in love with me like I'm in love with you. Now dreaming's all I do - if only they come true!"

II: "For the first time in this century, for the first time in perhaps all history, man does not have to invent a system by which to live. We don't have to talk late into the night about which form of government is better. We don't have to wrest justice from the kings."

III: "I really wasn't expecting to like it. I thought I wouldn't want to finish an 800-page book, but then I started slowing down and reading the same chapters over and over. You fall in love with the characters; you grow up with them."

IV: "Right now, in the greatest country in human history, we have too many families paying too much for groceries; too many mothers searching frantically for baby formula; and too many children who are so far behind in the classroom, they might never get ahead."

V: "Vladimir Putin says he is a religious man, a great supporter of the Russian Orthodox Church. If so, he may well go to bed each night, say his prayers and ask God: 'Why didn't you put some mountains in Ukraine?'"

VI: "Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. From Blackstone through the 19th century cases, commentators and courts routinely explained that the right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose."

The correct answer is that NONE of these quotes were said by either candidate!

I is the first verse from Kylie Minogue's excellent single, I Should Be So Lucky - kudos to BlueSwan. (You call Stock, Aitken and Waterman autotune merchants. I call them revolutionaries.)

II is a quote from George H.W. Bush's excellent Inaugural Address.

III is Jennifer Lawrence's praise for Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, the excellence of which I cannot attest to owing to the fact I haven't read it myself.

IV is a quote from Nikki Haley's not-so-excellent Presidential campaign announcement. Sorry, Nikki.

V is the first paragraph of the introduction to Tim Marshall's excellent book, Prisoners of Geography.

VI is a quote from Antonio Scalia's excellent majority ruling in DC v. Heller (page 626).

Kalo Pascha! Christos Anesti!
