at my old work my boss walked back one day and asked a bunch of us this question. i answered like a psychopath would, supposedly. he looked genuinely freaked out. but its not that hard to deduce, really...i'm surprised nobody else answered that way. (i don't think i'm a psychopath..)
a couple of answers come to mind:
my first guess:
the young women killed her mother and now also killed her sister. she's insane.
second answer; the young man had a relationship with her sister and mother. sister kills mother, than young women wants the man and kills sister.
third answer: there is a lot of money in inheritance and the sister is the only obstacle to get that money and have a beautifull wedding with the stranger.
Did I win the "i'm a psychopath t-shirt" ?
Edit: doh... googled the answer and it's soo simple.. damn i'm not a psycho :'( (a real psycho ofcourse answers this question wrongly as to mislead the others...think about that!)

its so easy come on i am not psycho
The picture is so beautiful and I could probably analyze the hell out of the story but the picture is so beautiful... Does that make me a psychopath? I took this test and got
@Nevero, please give me my results. https://s.yimg.com/lq/i/mesg/emoticons7/63.gif
The picture asks the question wrong. The way they say it makes it obvious as one sentence leads to the other.
Her sister was a reptile.
What did I win?
They were related, the sister failed to tell her of her secret brother. The instant, vivid allure of a lifetime of bliss with her soul mate, shattered. The shards of glass sharp with bitter resentment..... in a fit of rage and passion she turned to her sister and lunged. Down she fell into the final resting place of her mother smacking her head on the coffin. She never regained consciousness. Then, in a Sid and Nancy style twist, the two that remained (the original girl and the man) made a suicide pact ... they could continue in this world no longer, knowing that they were responsible for their shared sisters death... and they could bear to countenance themselves or each other anymore. They slit each others wrists, drank sloe gin and listened to the cure as the life faded from their tortured bodies.
Either that or...
It was an accident, no where does it mention murder.
Did she kill her mother too?
Can she only love one person at a time and then hates anyone who she used to love?
watching other people trying to answer this is torture.
Lel. Reptiles as in reptiles, not aliens, @Aylen. You're mistaking me with crazie runs in the family crazie rat. Now, watch out, before I get my UFO rolling.
Ah, we call those "Black Stories" in Germany, there's a card game with a whole lot of those kind of riddles. I already know so many.
Here's a riddle for those, who like lateral thinking:
After you died you come to a room with two doors. One leads to heaven, the other to hell. But you don't know which door is which. In front of each door stands an angel. One angel will always tell lies, the other will always tell the truth. You are allowed to choose one of the angels (once again, you don't know who's the angel that tells the truth, both angels look exactly the same) and ask one question to find out which door you have to go through. What question do you ask?
Also known as the "certain death riddle" in the Labyrinth but I won't spoil it for those who want to answer.
Quote:
One of us will tell you true,
One will always lie.
Just one question is your due,
And only one reply.
One right answer gets you through,
Which door will you try?
I think this may be time related. What happens a couple of days after a funeral?
Edit: Will reading?
A classic:
A woman goes into a bar and orders a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a gun. She says "Thanks." and leaves. What has happened here?
Another one:
A man visits a five star restaurant and orders an albatross soup. When he starts eating he suddenly has to puke. What has happened here?
What is actually better than those kind of riddles are games like Scissors. Drives you crazy when you don't know what's going on.
Maybe the unknown man was her sisters husband, she had an affair with him not knowing this. She was the carrier of a genetic and contagious disease (which her mother died of and which does not affect men)... then her sisters husband passed it on to his wife...the sister
what does it mean if i thought that the guy turned out to be her butch sister, who she then killed?
Two more guesses before i google it because i can't stand the suspense any longer.
Could she be too young, as in underage...so the sister calls it in and she kills her for taking her romeo away?
Or
She becomes pregnant and miscarries/terminates...the man was her long lost father. So she was the mother of her own sister.
Edit: yeah, the answer was a tad dissapointing
Yah, I had about eighty five elaborate stories off the bat and tbh all were plausible. There was not enough info to exclude a lot of answers that people gave. I didn't even think the psychopath's answer was that psychopathic... just ummm as lungs said pragmatic.
She killed the sister so the guy would show up at the funeral and she could talk to him again. Kinda farfetched/overkill but idk.
the real answer from that snopes thing is kinda boring. my further answer was that he was her sisters boyfriend, so she killed her to get him.
She wasn't distraught enough to find a guy to date and sex him up at her mother's funeral. So she probably didn't give a shit about her mother. She's not really in love with the man, but she pretends she is. She killed her sister because her sister inherited something of value from her mother that she thought she was going to get. She probably killed her mother too to get this stuff.
??? Do I pass?
nice !
young girl : a ghost, who was once an elite samurai warrior in the early 13th century
mother: wife of a terrifyingly honorable samurai warrior
at the mother's funeral, the young girl (ghost) appears, scans for any members of the enemy clan that murdered her father.
She see's the sole survivor of their family, her little sister standing in solitude, the whirl of emotions inside her makes the young lady vulnerable to a wicked affectionate ploy...
Wait, she is being closely watched by a handsome man, perhaps a sinister evil soul ?
She follows him and reads his heart, looks could deceive ----
they seem to fall in love and her hunch was right, he has come to destroy the last living member, plus he is scheming plans to torture the lil sister and plunder the family province.
The young girl peforms a 'sepukku' kind of 'killing' so that her sister's honor remains honorable. Her clan leader understands this omen and rallies to prepare the incoming enemy strike...
what it means: Honor before every breath.

i might use this for a novella, maybe...
the answer
It took me a minute, but I'm pretty sure I know the answer.
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/images/oots0327.gif
I don't get it. I don't care that I don't get the second, but I want to know the first...OH! Hiccups?
I've written a couple:
I make some things wet
and make others dry.
I am in the depths,
though I always go high.
You need me,
and I'm less without you.
Sometimes I'm yellow,
and sometimes I'm blue.
Knowledge from one end,
a cold stony heart.
Born of a sapling,
but only in part.
Hide-and-seek
is a game it will play.
It takes back
what it did not say.
"Would the other angel tell me that the door you're in front of leads to heaven?"
If the answer is "yes", then that door will lead to hell. If the answer is "no", then that door will lead to heaven.
If you ask the lying angel, they will be telling a lie about what the truth-telling angel would say. If you ask the truth-telling angel, they will be telling the truth about what the lie-telling angel would say.
Such answer are based heavily on assumptions, some of them, totally false. I can't really deal in them, but it seems a long time ago and once upon a time smart psychopaths that got caught committing murder (trelelele), answered right away, positively.
Yeah, right. It is like claiming Socionics is based on Jung...
Illogiks is illogiks...
@lungs, He fell in love with her sister, yeah?
:lol:
I can't believe I am going to share this but...I can be the queen of tmi. :p
A few years ago I woke up and couldn't move my neck, so I had x-rays and an MRI done. It was just an old injury that had been irritated but they found out I had bilateral cervical ribs. I was freaking out trying to find out what that meant and I happened upon a website that said it was some kind of remnant of our reptilian past. haha You can't even tell I have two extra "ribs" by looking at me but I know they are there. :shifty:
I wish I knew. It REALLY upset me for awhile after I found out that I had two which is rarer and I got scared that my genes were all fucked up but I am the only one in my family that has any kind of "rare" conditions. I also experience allergy to water and take medication every day for it. It is a joke in my family that I was left behind by gypsies and my mom took me in. Maybe it wasn't gypsies and it was those aliens. :P
Edit:
It is bone deformation, not aliens. Usually not causing problems in younger age.
I have no problems with it. The neck problem I had was whiplash (hair whipping :p) from dancing. Not kidding. I am joking about aliens but the thought is appealing since I feel alien in this world. :shifty:
Edit: I do not consider it a deformity. It is actually pretty cool to see in x-rays and does not look deformed.
Joan Lachkar and Nancy Kobrin believe that terrorists are borderline personalities, "walking time bombs" from continuous child abuse, with absent fathers, "forever connecting to their 'mother of pain'", forming relational bonds that are destructive and painful (traumatic bonding). "As horrific as the emotional pain is, it is preferable to a black hole." They say, "At least I know that I am alive. I feel excited. I have meaning and purpose to my life... it's done 'for Allah's sake, hurts less than a gnat's bite'". Lachkar concludes that Islamic cultures, like borderlines, "are dominated by shame/blame defenses, have defective bonding and dependency needs, are extremely envious, and will retaliate at any cost. They are lacking in impulse control, have poor reality testing, and... suffer from profound fears of abandonment and annihilation, as well as persecutory anxieties." Their relationship with their loveless mothers are repeated in their fantasies about Allah: "If I pray five times a day, kill myself, sacrifice my needs/desires, I will be loved by Allah." Mothers often announce that they are raising martyrs who will die for Allah, even picking which son should die and which must remain alive to support her in her old age. Speckhard reports, "In Palestinian territories, there currently exists a 'cult of martyrdom'. From a very young age children are socialized into a group consciousness that honors martyrs... posters decorate the walls of towns and rock and music videos extol the virtues of bombers... the bombers describe their psychological state (with their bombs strapped on) as one of "floating" or "bliss" [disassociation]." The terrorists, says Lachkar, "conjure up an imaginary companion or "idealized" father like Allah to die for, saying "I'm going to meet the Lord of the universe." All imagine they would still be around to watch their parents be sorry they had killed themselves. 'Every time my father sees my photo, he'll cry.' This is an obvious dialogue with a long-lost father object, a severe yearning for contact. The cries are for the love they had missed all their lives". They are not wrong. Their parents do want them to kill themselves. Mothers of martyrs are often reported as happy that their sons died because they then could feel like their sons would never leave them. As one mother of a Palestinian suicide bomber who had blown himself to bits put it, "with resolutely cheerful countenance,"
‘I was very happy when I heard. To be a martyr, that's something. Very few people can do it. I prayed to thank God. I know my son is close to me.’
The son had been about to graduate from the university, about to separate from his mother, to individuate, to self-activate. The mother was about to "lose" him. So when he killed himself, she was happy about his suicide, because now he would always be "close to her," like a comfort blanket.
The result of all this early abuse and violent training to be a suicidal terrorist is as might be expected. For instance, one Palestinian psychologist, Dr. Dhafiq Massalha, conducted an experiment recently with a random sample of 150 boys and girls aged ten and eleven to whom he had distributed notebooks, asking them to record their dreams. "The results, though predictable, were still shocking. A Palestinian girl aged eleven dreamt she went into a market in Israel with bombs all over her body. She stopped in the crowd of shoppers, counted to ten, then blew herself up, according to an account of his findings. He found that 78% of the dreams were political, and most of them included physical violence. Half of the children dreamed of becoming suicide bombers." That Arafat and others endlessly told children they should become martyrs and that these messages have been daily shown on TV even in between children's cartoons is just a later version of the parental dicta telling their children it is their duty to kill themselves and others "for Allah". Palestinian children are often given suicide belts by their parents to march around in and practice their suicides . . . . there is a parallel between the sexual submission of young boys to older men in Palestinian society and their later submission to the will of Allah . . .
Even the terrorist's choice of exploding themselves has childhood roots, since they restage the explosive sexual assaults they experienced when being raped as children. As one psychiatrist who interviewed many terrorists reported:
‘We have to study their fantasies to understand these men. The sexual importance is sometimes striking. For some, when a bomb goes off, it is like an orgasm... One fellow told me he felt "liberated" every time he heard a bomb explode. Some others told me they would place a bomb, then sit out on a balcony and listen. When the "boom" came, it was a great relief.’
What happens neurobiologically during early child abuse is that the child's pain and fears are implanted in a disassociated state in amygdalan fear networks in their brain. Later in life they hear the voices of their Punishing Parents every time they try to individuate, to experience their own needs and develop their own selves, every time they do something the parent was [also] punished for as a child and/or punished their own child (for) or unconsciously internalized as meriting punishment -- all forbidden activities. A child being sexually abused can only conclude that they are "bad" inside—indeed, they are told all the time their own sexual needs are "bad”—and so, what they do is fuse with their Punishing Parents in their own heads (experienced as God) and find others to victimize, to kill. As Palestinian suicide terrorists kill, they fuse with their Killer Parent alter in their heads and shout ""Allabu akbar," "God [Mommy, Daddy] is greatest!" and experience "an expression of empowerment" during the fusion with their powerful Killer Parent alter. Thus the Hamas goal of "death in the service of God" is in fact a death in the service of the Killer Parent and "death to the Israelis" means death to their own "bad boy" self.
That abusive childrearing practices have a profound effect on producing suicide terrorists is certain. But in addition the overt violence experienced by children living in a war zone or in depriving refugee camps simply adds to the traumatic distress of their childhoods. As high as one-fifth of Palestinian children are chronically hungry today, hundreds of Palestinian children have been killed in Israel's attempt to crush the intifada, and children exposed to bombardment and demolition have been found to have severe post-traumatic stress disorders. Children whose parents are killed in the violence or who are otherwise separated from them are set to "quietly cry," and their early losses cannot help but increase the need for violence in the future. What can be done to prevent all these children who are badly traumatized by their families and societies from growing up as human time bombs?
Prevention of terrorism rather than revenge should be our goal for the future. Rather than backing military solutions to Palestinian terrorism, America and Israel should instead back a UN-sponsored Marshall Plan for them, designed to reduce the abusive childrearing that is creating the terrorists. Just as the Marshall Plan we created for Germans and Austrians after WWII allowed families to evolve far beyond those that produced Nazism, we must put real money and organized effort into a Palestinian Parenting Plan that will help families get better parenting to their children. There are, in fact, several parenting centers in Palestine, like the Palestine happy Child Center in Ramallah, which was established in 1994 as a grassroots non-governmental organization to promote the welfare of young Palestinian children "through a holistic approach to child development". The center operates now on grants from The Jerusalem Fund, but if Centers could even be supported by Israeli and American funds they might reduce the sense that Israel and America are simply "against Palestinians".
‘That Islamic boys are routinely sexually abused, usually by anal penetration, has been reported by many throughout history. According to an Arab sociologist, men regularly keep young boys in their extended families for pederastic use in Islamic societies, since women are considered "unclean", using little boys anally avoids what is considered the "voracious vaginas" of women, and, after all, "the mere sign of pretty boys is regarded... as terribly tempting". One ex-PLO terrorist, Walid Shoebat, reported that "Palestine is a strange society. Homosexuality is forbidden, but if you're the penetrator, not the penetrated, it's okay... Once, on a hiking trip, I saw a line of shepherd boys waiting for their turn to sodomize a five-year-old boy. It was unbelievable... teenage boys prey upon younger children; older male relatives prey upon pre-adolescent and adolescent boys and girls." Although Shoebat says "most Arabs and Muslims will deny that this is so," my own research confirms that it is widespread in the Islamic nations of the Middle East.
Granqvist reports that most infants in Palestine are tightly swaddled during their first six months. The physical battering of both girls and boys from birth for small misdemeanors is widespread throughout Muslim societies. Visitors to families report on the "slapping, striking and thrashing" of children. A typical report of Islamic cultures says, "A large number of children face some form of physical abuse, from infanticide and abandonment of babies, to beating, shaking, burning, cutting, poisoning, holding underwater or giving drugs or alcohol, or violent acts like punching, kicking, biting, choking, beating, shooting, or stabbing." Islamic schools regularly practice severe corporal punishment. "Honor killings" of girls who are blamed for their own and others' sexual abuse are said to be widespread in Palestine.’
I Google'd the answer, and mine makes more sense.
Lateral thinking puzzles are annoying because the specific possibility that is the "answer" rarely makes more sense consequentially than any other intuitive correlations.
For instance, here's one of my own! "A man is dead in the middle of a road. How did he die?"
Did you get the answer? Read further...
...
Answer: He was ensnared in having to fulfill his end of a bet after his friend successfully drank a jar of spoiled pickled juice, so he was crossing the road. Meanwhile, as he was crossing this section of downhill interstate, a reckless tractor trailer driver who failed to check if his rig could handle all the downhill gradients on his route because he was stressed from being in the middle of an ongoing custody battle in a prolonged divorce, was not able to stop in time to not hit him.
Oh, you said heart attack? Well, that's equally possible from the info given, but nah, it isn't right.
Maybe it's a Ni thing, what with the personal intuitions which seem to abound with these questions...
But actually you have to ask questions that can be answered with yes or no to narrow it down to the solution. Of course you can answer such a question with many possible answers, but the truth needs to be found out. You could just as well play "Who am I?", it works in the same manner, narrowing it down to the answer by asking yes/no questions. I guess iz engages Ti.
I looked up the answer, but my own answer to the question was "Why?" was..."Why...?"
uh.... it was her sisters husband?
