As to the question of what value it is to try and figure out what these 5 husbands are it is like a Biblical brain teaser. At MIT and other schools they give problems to students that have no solution, or at least have not been solved. Personally I have always thought that the Samaritan woman with her 5 husbands and one that is not has a nice correlation with the ook of Ecclesiastes. So, as you suggested, if I do hit on this I use it to jump to Ecclesiastes.
