I received this in my E-mail. Can't say whether it is genuine or not, but it is interesting.

Snopes says it isn't real.

I got it "right". But that's OK, the voices aren't telling me to kill . . . today.

i knew that was the right answer becasue thats how crazy murdering people think. not because that is how i think

I don't understand the correct answer. Can someone please explain it?

I thought perhaps her sister was secretly dating him and she got jealous and killed her.

Well, when this was posted before, I decided that I was just a very good criminal psychologist.

Of course, I might be insane... *twitch*

You aren't insane. Now Einy. Einy is insane.....

I got it right within a few seconds, but it's obviously bullshit; you don't have to be insane to figure it out.

Also, what I would have done is ask the people who were at the funeral if they knew him. She obviously has some sort of close degree of seperation to him, so she could figure it out pretty quickly.

For this to be a more useful test, it shouldn't have made the choice for you - it should have asked you how you would have tried to make contact with the guy. If you answer "I'd kill my sister", then you're batshit insane. If you answer something else (just about anything else), then you're normal.

She killed the sister so he would turn up to the funeral? Who would guess that?!

Me, for one. It's really pretty obvious...you're supposed to think about why she killed her sister, and you know the following: she really wanted to see this guy again, and this guy somehow knew her mother.

Hethrir · Post by **Hethrir** » 2003-06-10 07:01am

Fair enough. I thought the sister was seeing the man, and she got jealous and shot her.

That solution at least has the motive of jealousy, but the other one is even colder. Kill someone just to see this dude again?

It was posted before, and evidently I'm still a psychopath.

Steven Snyder · Post by **Steven Snyder** » 2003-06-10 01:35pm

I had a bit of a different theory...

I find it unusual that the daughter would find many people at the funeral that she didn't know. And since someone probably inviteded him, then someone should have known him. It is very strange that this mystery person shows up and nobody seems to know who he is.

I also found it unusual that in the course of this funeral, she falls in love with this mystery guy that no one knows about. Yet even though she fell in love with him, she herself still knows virtually nothing about him.

If it were me I would simply think she is psychotic, she killed her sister, probably her mother, and this guy is just an illusion created by her mind...but that's just me.

I'm psychotic. Cool. Now I need Force powers to do an Anakin impression.

I had no idea what the right answer was, but when I asked my mother that same question... she knew the correct answer right away (like in a second, I had barely finished the question by the time she answered).

EDIT: Hey I have two stars. WOOT!

I accidentally scrolled down to the answer before solving it myself, but I don't know why knowing the right answer would make you think like a psychopath. It's more of a riddle.

I knew what the question and answer were going to be before I started reading your post. Does that mean anything?

It means you can tell the future and are crazy.

I knew the answer within a second or two. I guess that means I'm a bloody psycho... but everyone already knew that.
