"Other" took the win with just 957 votes — 24.1% of the field — edging Ghost Hunter's 21.1% by three points while Firefighter, Tattoo Artist, Private Investigator, and Inventor all still cleared 10%. Six real options split the field so evenly that three out of every four voters picked something besides the winner. A plurality, not a mandate.
Zoom into the biggest single bloc and the story flips: the United States (188 votes), plus the UK and Canada, all favored Firefighter — the option that finished third overall. Ghost Hunter carried New Zealand, Croatia, and Brazil instead. The English-speaking core wanted firefighters; everyone else scattered.
