It doesnt mean you've commit murder, it means that you have the mind of a psycho path.

It doesnt mean you've commit murder, it means that you have the mind of a psycho path.
There's no such thing though. The fact that it is a riddle would make even someone who isn't capable of murder come to the "correct" conclusion. If you want to know why the girl committed the murder you rationalize it from her point of view, not your own.

The one I did wasnt a riddle at all. Its a test to see if your psychotic. Supposedly, they asked that question to suspected serial killers, and if they got it correctly, it was a clear sign that they were psychotic, and had commited the murders.
that's not true

You dont know that its in the point of view of a serial kiler, thats the point.

Meh, so its BS :P
funny story. My girlfriend asked me this question at luch a few years back. The first thing that came to my mind was the 'psychopath' answer and I said it out loud within the first second or so. Needless to say she was quite surprised and challenged me to ask this question to anyone I know and see if anyone would come up with the same answer... nobody I knew picked the same solution. Most were "because her sister was having an affair with the guy" or something similar.
Now the funny part: she also asked the question to her father and guess what he answered: "To meet somebody else to fall in love with."
Humans are difficult to understand, I was asked this question at my University by my colleague, she was also insisting on the same thing as Pornography but still I did think of the answer at the first place....but did not answer it correctly..
This concept is false at hand...you cannot judge a person just by his views....it takes time and consideration...along with the circumstances that occur...
I thought up an answer after reading the riddle which wasn't the psycopath one, but after I read this topic and the snopes link I forgot. Shame on all of you.
Question: 2 + 2 / 2 = ?

You were kidding, right?
A scary thing - I watched my second year math class get similar questions incorrect in the re-introduction classes this year. Fear life. Fear it in the face and head.
