1. I worked with several psychopaths, successful killers, |
|
for a few years. From what I know of their thought process, that is a great test and that would be the right answer.
As Ted Bundy put it,"What's the big deal - there are SO MANY people!"

2. She couldn't just have checked out the guestbook |
|
From her mother's funeral? Or asked some of the other guests who he was? That's what I would have done.

3. Yup. Got it straight away. But I'd prefer to think I cogitated like a detective. :) |

I hope that doesn't make me a psychopath once removed!

6. I didn't get it, but I'm pretty tired right now so my brain isn't functioning like it normally does. |
|
And now that I know the answer, we'll never know what I would have thought of had I been at 100%... :evilgrin:

7. I was amazed at the complete disconnect... |
|
...between the setup and the question. All I kept saying was, "This is dumb. One has nothing to do with the other. There's not enough data to answer the question."
Now I feel better.:woohoo:

8. Well...I win the loony prize. |
|
because I immediately got it...before I even finished reading the question. It's not my solution to that dilemma...but it was an illogical explanation for that action which it seems that someone might undertake.

9. My answer was, "because she felt like it." |

Does that make me worse than a psychopath?
On edit: I just read the story to my wife, and she got the answer immediately. I am now very worried.

11. Check out the book “Without Conscience” |
|
by Robert D Hare, I read it years ago. After reading it you will start taking a closer look at people around you.Not all psychopath are serial killers, some make pretty good wingers.
