Read this question, then come up with an answer. This is not a trick question. It is as it reads. No one I know has gotten it right. Few people do.
A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a man she did not know.
She thought the man was amazing. She believed him to be the man of her dreams--so much that she fell in love with him right there, but she never asked for his number and afterwards couldn't find him.
A few days later she killed her sister.
Question: What was her motive for killing her sister?
Hat Tip: Claire Berlinski
You can read the entire post this was taken from on her Ricochet page.

I'd say
the motive was inheritance. And her meeting the amazing man had nothing to do with the murder.
ETA: This, of course, depends on the sister not having children.
I hope I got it wrong :scared:

She killed her sister in hopes of meeting the guy again at her funeral.

The voices in my head would beg to differ.

BTW, Claire is explaining why the test isn't a reliable diagnostic tool for clinical depression or psychosis in her post. Just wanted to clear that up.

I initially thought the part about her meeting a man at her mother's funeral was irrelevant too, but it turns out that it was integral to solving the riddle.

Not at all, just a person with a well-developed intuition and/or logical thinking :)
