Try this simple riddle. It takes less than a minute.

Read this question, come up with an answer and then scroll down to the bottom for the result (I will confirm the correct answer, or if no one gets it I will reveal the answer in 1 week). This is not a trick question. It is as it reads.

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met this guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, so much her dream guy she believed him to be, that she fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him.

A few days later she killed her sister.

Question:
What is her motive in killing her sister?

nosajj:
There are many possible explanations, such as the woman finding out that her sister killed the mother, etc. But the question seems centred on this particular man that the woman met. It is possible that this is done to throw you off. But, considering, this, the conclusion is that the woman was hoping the guy would appear at the funeral again.

Asking for the man's number outright the first time she met him seems to be a more pragmatic choice. Also, if she loves the man, she would want to create optimum conditions in which he would desire her. Her sister's funeral doesn't seem like an optimum condition. The woman  could've also checked the funeral inviation list (if there was one) before taking such an extreme action.

A more likely motive for killing her sister (assuming that only her and her sister are left in the family) would be to inherit all the fortunes left behind by her parents and not splitting it in half with her sister.

suzaku_nomiko:
by killing her, she no doubt hoped he would show up at the following funeral.

kayryn:

Suzaku, you get an applaud for that, I have to say.

Is there like, a definitive right answer you've chosen, or you just wanna see what we think?

This is something I'm gonna hafta think on. I'll reply with my answer later.

Amane:
by killing her, she no doubt hoped he would show up at the following funeral.

Do you really think 'normal' person (assuming that she is normal) would go that far to see this guy again? On the other hand if she fell in love with him she might take every opportunity to meet him again, even if it means killing her sister.

But I have to think it over.
