    ~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?

    tbh I thought maybe her sister and this man were married, so she had to take the sister out of the picture! LOL. But then I read everyone else's responses.. So now I don't know lmao :D

    At least PM me if I'm psychopathic or not XD!!

    Anyways, here's an easy riddle: It's greater than God AND more evil than Satan. Poor people have it, and rich people need it. What is it??

    I agree that its to see the Guy again. Maybe he works at the cemetery? Maybe he is their long lost father? Maybe she is just a lonely psycho that has trouble meeting men? Maybe he is a homicide detective?

    I don't buy it. If she wanted to kill her sister in the hopes of seeing this guy at the funeral then she should have done a better done because she got caught.

    But then again, she did flirt with the guy at her own mother's funeral. So she was kind of disturbed to begin with. So maybe she's not capable of thinking things through.

    My last one of the day:

    A man went on a trip with a fox, a goose, and a sack of corn. He came upon a stream which he had to cross and found a tiny boat to use to cross the stream. He could only take himself and one other - the fox, the goose, or the corn - at a time. He could not leave the fox alone with the goose or the goose alone with the corn. How does he get all safely over the stream?

    I still remember this riddle from some cartoon ^_^

    First take the goose from point A to point B. Then take the fox from point A to point B, but take the goose back from point B to point A. Take the corn from point A to point B and drop off the corn. Go back to point A from point B, grab the goose, and bring him to point B. :D.

    By the way the entire riddle goes:

    What is greater than God
    More evil than the devil
    Rich people need it
    Poor people have it
    if you eat it you will die
    what is it ?

    Supposedly like 5% of Harvard graduates got it right, but 97% of kindergarteners did.

    I love riddles!

    I think the hard one the answer is the man is married to her estranged twin sister, and by killing her sister she has the man to herself by pretending to be her twin.

    Here's one from my childhood, and yes they had riddles back then:

    As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives, each wife had seven cats, each cat had seven kits. Kits, cats man and wives, how many were going to St. Ives?

    Pretty easy I know, but I always liked the sound of it.

    I didn't take the time to see if anyone else has figured it out (though I'm sure someone has with all these pages!) but I believe it's triangle or heart?

    A backwards 2 and 2 put together makes a fish (the tear drop shape and the tail is the bottom of the 2)

    backwards 3 and 3=8 because you connect the lines...

    7 and 7 would be an upside down triangle? :D

    Lol it's disturbing how many people got it "right".

    The "correct" answer is she killed her sister in the hopes that the strange man would show up at the next funeral. So yes, so she could see him again.

    When I answered this one for a job I said it must have been a crime of passion. She found out her sister was seeing the guy or something like that.

    I dont really see how it shows the person has psychopathic/serial killer tendencies personally. Well i sorta do but i dont completely agree with it. To me this was simply a right brained, logical riddle. The woman met the man at her mothers funeral but forgot to get his number. To get his number she would have to recreate another scenario in which she would have the best chance of seeing him again. Killing another family member is the closest she could come to recreating that scenario to have a chance to meet the man again.
    Just for poops and giggles i decided to ask my coworkers today what they thought the answer was while i waited to see what your correct solution was. All 4 are women. (yayaya what do you expect i work in the kitchen in a nursing home lol). They range from ages 31-40s/50s. The only one who came to the same conclusion as me, is who i consider to be the most right brained logical thinker like myself. She said "oh she probably killed her sister to meet the man at another funeral". The other 3 are more artsy and left brained. They all said they had no idea and they thought it was a stupid riddle lol. They came to the conclusion that the man had an affair with her sister and she was jealous so she just killed her lol.

    3 business men are in town to attend a convention and decide to share a room. They pay $30 for the room for the night. Later the manager realizes they are here for the convention, which gives them a $5 discount, so he gives the $5 to the bellboy to bring to the businessmen. The bellboy, figuring the gentlemen couldn't split $5 evenly, pockets $2 and gives $3 to the gentlemen. Thus each man has paid $9 and the bell boy pocketed $2 (9x3=27+2=29). Where did the extra dollar go?

    There is no extra dollar

    Play on words, and you have to subtract from the total, not per person. Technically the bell boy took $2 making the room cost $28, not $27. So each man paid $9.33 with an extra penny from one guy.

    pressure from the heat causes the bubbles in it so maybe it turns it brown too?

    And you cant look at pressure but if you did you would die bc the pressure would kill you?

    Idk what i was thinking on the polar bear lol...

    Can someone pleaseeeee tell me how the answer is "NO". This riddle has been bothering me for days!

    Riddles usually end with a question. Who am I? RuPaul. What Am I? The Sun.

    Can you answer the riddle? No.

    You cannot answer it. It's just a bunch of nonsensical garbage that someone who thought that they were witty came up with.
