got told a story the other day, well, a story/question. It's apparently a psychological test that the SAS use to test whether or not you have the sociopathic tendencies to be a coldblooded killer.
Lets see if any of you has it in them...
So there are these two early 30s sisters - Hannah and Sarah, single, and they still live with their aged mother. Finally, after a long illness, the poor dear pops her clogs. The next couple of days are a nightmare of arrangement, but finally they organise the funeral. At the funeral, there are lots of old family and friends turning up, including Mike. Now, Mike is a bit of an enigma. He is an old old family friend, but no one has seen him for more than 10 years. Now, after the funeral is over the sisters hold a wake, and at the wake, Mike talks to both Hannah and Sarah alternately for most of the night, whilst the other mingles the party and leaves Mike with her sister. Sarah quite likes Mike. Hannah, on the other hand, thinks that Mike is her dream man, the perfect man, the man she has been waiting 30 odd years on this godforesaken planet to meet.
The next morning, whilst the sisters are clearing up, Mike leaves, and it's only a few days later that they realise he left no number or forwarding address.
Two days later, Hannah kills Sarah.
Why?

That was easy.
Well done. Kill the thread so early on by getting the answer right :p
You do realise that shows you are a sociopath, apparently?
(nb, i got it right in the same length of time as well)

Us psychopaths have to stick together.

I would say that most people would say that Mike is the cause. The majority of the story leads you to believe that Mike is a significant character, all the while it sets up a conflict between Sarah and Hannah.

Let's see: According to any sensible plot, the butler did it. Somehow. :)
Seriously: I agree with the rest of the replies on this thread. Jealousy.

Don't assume facts not in evidence. Everything you need to solve it is in the puzzle. Think from outside the box, looking in.
Heard it before. NOT an actual psychological test, but a cool story.
If you love someone a lot, wouldn't you miss them if they moved away?

Why? Why was she killed?
Hmmm.
Why not? I think that someone got a mite bit peckish, but was too lazy to head over to McDonald's. So she grabbed a knife and killed her sister.
Makes perfect sense.
or....
It really was the pet chicken, enraged over the multiple cartons of Kentucky Fried Chicken littering the apartment.
Hmmm. Actually this one makes more sense than the first one.

That's the movie "Fight Club."
Nice try, though.
The correct answer is
she wanted to see mike at her sisters funeral. However, that was the original answer I gave.
got told a story the other day, well, a story/question. It's apparently a psychological test that the SAS use to test whether or not you have the sociopathic tendencies to be a coldblooded killer.
Lets see if any of you has it in them...
So there are these two early 30s sisters - Hannah and Sarah, single, and they still live with their aged mother. Finally, after a long illness, the poor dear pops her clogs.
