A Riddle

This is a psychological test riddle that I had to answer in order to get a job working security at a national laboratory. We were told there is technically only one correct answer but if you get it right, you have psychopathic/serial killer tendencies and those people would not be hired. Luckily I didn't get it right!

~While attending her own mothers funeral, a woman met a man she had never seen before. She thought he was amazing in every way and they hit it off immediately but they never got each others phone numbers and the woman couldn't find him afterwards..

Not long after that she killed her own sister..

What was her motive?

She wanted to meet him again and thought she could meet him at another funeral plus she obviously really needed his number .
( I wonder if I'll get strange looks if I get that right lol)

Haha, I just thought that too, she wanted to see him again.

Lol I'm going to give it a little time to see what others come up with. ;)

My first thought was the similar. She had to create another funeral within her family to see him again...
Idk why the strange man would show up at the mother and daughters funeral though?

Then when you find the one goblet that only raises 90 ounces you know who the culprit is? I hate riddles I don't know why I bother trying to understand -_-

Each goblet made by the apprentice who is stealing is one ounce off and there are ten apprentices. So if you pick one goblet from the first, two from the second, etc... until you get to number ten where you select all ten of his. Then place the 55 selected goblets on the scale at one time. You know how much they all should weigh. By picking a different number from each apprentice the amount of gold that is missing will determine who is the thief. If one ounce it is number one, two ounces for number two etc...:D Hope this helps
