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 just 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?
(Give this some thought before you answer)

Radon222

Is anyone trying it ....if anyone is trying it ....please tell me fast so that I can wait as i have to go now or .......I shud post the answer?

LAMPARD

One deduction could be this-
The woman tries to search for the man frantically.So,she asks her sister as she thinks that her sister may know something about the man coz even her sister was present at the funeral.She finds out that her sister is in love the guy whom she is searching for.Maybe,her sister even thought of marrying him.So,the woman got extremely upset about it.So,she decides to kill her sisters so as to get her man.
A woman who falls in love with a man on seeing him for the first time itself that too at the funeral of her mother obviously has stronger feelings for love than family ties.So,maybe she decided to take that extreme step.
I maybe correct.If not,i'l try to come with a better one..

coz she came to know that her sis luved dat guy too........??

Radon222

No the answer is,

She killed her because she was hoping that the guy would appear at the funeral again.

If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath. This
was a test by a famous American Psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer. Many arrested serial killers
took part in the test and answered the question correctly.

If you didn't answer the question correctly good for you.Or if u have answered this question correctly then I'll just be extra nice
to you from now on.

yep... this question was on askpedia too :)
the woman kills her sis since she knows he knew her mother so he's gonna know her sister too and would come at her funeral too, that's her big chance

OK,since no one is taking the pain of posting mystery questions,i guess i'll hav 2 do so..here it goes...
"That was a neat program on UFO's," said Nina to her cousin Max as they walked down the street. "I think what really amazed me was that UFO's were reported as early as 1800."
"That's pretty hard to believe," said Max. "Anyway, do you really believe there are such things?" Nina started to answer when they heard a loud scream coming from Coach Thornton's house.
"Come on," shouted Max. They ran into the yard where the coach was staring at ten rose bushes that had been pulled from the ground.
"Look at that!" he demanded. "Just look at that."
"That's terrible," cried Nina. "Who could have done it?"
Coach Thornton looked disgusted. "I had to bench three of my best football players for cutting class. They were pretty mad at me."
"First thing, we'd better get these roses back in the ground," said Max. "Then we'll figure out who did it."
Nina and Max helped Coach Thornton replant the roses. Then he invited them in for milk and cookies.
"Now," said Nina. "Am I right? You benched Sam Cartland, Mike Brooks, and Alex Avery."
"And you lost the game," added Max.
The coach rubbed his eyes. "I know, but rules are rules."
"I'll bet one of them did it to get even," said Nina. "How about we nose around a little?"
"Let's see," said Max after they left. "Coach said the roses were all right when he looked out at nine. But shortly after ten, he found them pulled up."
"So, we check to see who doesn't have an alibi between nine and ten. Look!" Nina pointed. "There's Alex Avery over at the Dairy Bar."
Alex looked up as they came in. "Hi kids," he drawled.
"Hello, yourself," said Max. "We missed seeing you in the football game."
"That was a bummer all right. But I guess the coach didn't have any choice."
"Where you been all morning?" asked Nina.
"I've been right here since nine." He turned to the girl behind the counter. "Isn't that right, Amy?"
"Uh huh. You helped me carry in that heavy box."
"So you weren't anywhere near Coach Thornton's house?" asked Max.
Alex looked surprised. "No, I'm not mad at him, but I don't intend to visit him."
After they left, Nina looked down the street. "That's Sam Cartland's house. Let's see what he's been doing."
"What do you two want," growled Sam when he came to the door.
"Hey, lighten up, Sam," said Max. "Can we talk with you?"
"Sure, come on in." He pressed a button on his remote control and turned off his VCR. "I've been watching some football tapes to improve my game."
"We wondered what you were doing between nine and ten this morning," said Nina.
"I was right here watching that program on UFO's."
"That was a good program," said Nina. Remember when that guy from Roswell, New Mexico insisted he had been abducted?"
"Yeah," laughed Sam. "The one with the bushy hair. Funny how this has been going on for so long. That pilot, Kenneth Arnold, started it back in 1947 with the stuff he saw."
"Very interesting," said Max, trying not to look bored. "But we have to get going."
"Maybe we can find Mike Brooks working out at the gym," said Nina as they left.
"Probably," agreed Max.
They found him on the treadmill. "Hey, you two want to join down here? It's a great place to work out."
"Not right now," said Max. "We were wondering about what you were doing from nine to ten this morning."
"Right here. You can check the log book. Why?"
"Just curious," said Nina with a smile as they went back to the desk. Sure enough, Mike had signed in at five of nine.
This is great," Nina groaned. "They all have alibis."
"I'm not so sure of that," said Max.

Can you solve the case?

Wait for my reply this time :) let me try once atleast

ANSWER:

Sam Cartland

Reason :
"That was a neat program on UFO's," said Nina to her cousin Max as they walked down the street. "I think what really amazed me was that UFO's were reported as early as 1800."

Contradicting statement - "Yeah," laughed Sam. "The one with the bushy hair. Funny how this has been going on for so long. That pilot, Kenneth Arnold, started it back in 1947 with the stuff he saw."

LAMPARD
