Why? NB.

[kindredspirit]

When this woman is at the funeral of her mother she meets a total stranger whom she has never met before and whom she falls madly in love with. For two weeks she's engaged in frenzied passion with him. Then somehow she loses touch with him, can't find his phone number, hasn't his address etc etc.

Three weeks later she murders her sister. Why?

Before anyone gets the answer to this one correct, think on this. This question is used by psychologists in the US - the reason is, pyschopathic murders usually answer it correctly, while the general public usually struggle to answer it. My swmbo is a psych student, and was horrified when I answered this correctly in a second! <g>

There must be something to the principle. I think Fox Hunting is great! /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Oooer; I've just worked it out - but it took me a couple of minutes, so p'raps I'm only a mild psychopath? /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif

The man she met was her long-lost father, she became pregnant by him, then realised who he was, ditched him and had an abortion?

what if she killed her sister to possibly meet the man at the next funeral?

Oops! You're a psychopathic killer! /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

I preferred my explanation, but perhaps I'm not a psychopath after all. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Re: Rats!

Kevin,
would you like to come to my house for a nice meal with liver and a bottle of Chianti so that I can personally meet you and answer your interesting question?
Hope to see you soon!

Tried it once, but didn't like the taste....

<hr width=100% size=1>

 

[FlyingDutchman]

the liver or the Chianti?

Well done DERF, Guzz and that psychopath of a reindeer twirling a Christmas wreath around his antler.

I couldn't answer it correctly but a friend of mine's wife answered it in one second. I've made a mental note not to be alone with her at any time.

Apparently most people on Death Row in the States can answer it correctly almost instantly as well.
