Chilling brainteaser has no wrong answer – but your reply could signal something sinister

Brainteasers are not just a bit of fun; they're also great for enhancing your problem-solving skills and can even offer an intriguing glimpse into the deeper recesses of your personality.

Take, for instance, this particular brainteaser that's been making waves online—it challenges you to deduce the cause behind a woman's mysterious death.

While there's no incorrect response to the puzzle, it's been noted that serial killers tend to give a consistent answer. Sharing their fascination on Reddit, one user remarked: "I heard that a lot of mental institutions ask this to people to see where their mental state is. There is no wrong answer, but apparently, all serial killers answer it the same way."

The riddle is as followers: "There are two sisters. They both go to their mum's funeral. While they are at the funeral, one of the sisters meets the man of her dreams. They spend all day together, and she can't believe how incredibly happy he makes her.

"They part ways at the end of the funeral, and both sisters go back home. The sister who met the man of her dreams earlier that day suddenly realises when she gets home that she forgot to get his contact information. A week later, the other sister dies. How did she die? ".

One user proposed a dark hypothesis, suggesting: "She was killed by her sister so she could go to the funeral and meet the guy again."

Curiosity piqued, another joined the discussion asking: "But if there's no contact information, how would she invite the guy?" A third speculated with an eerie twist, saying: "I was thinking that they were twins, and the man of her dreams had been stalking her and accidentally killed her sister instead of her."

Compounding the grim theories, another proposed: "I thought the other sister killed the sister that met the guy so she can pretend to be that sister and have the dream guy..." Diving deeper into macabre possibilities, another user chimed in: "The man is a stalker/serial killer. He killed the mom and the sister to be with the other sister."

According to the original post's implication, those suspecting murder might be revealing their own gloomy view on life. In a voice of reason, another person commented: "There is no wrong answer, so there are any number of ways she could have died. Maybe she was hit by a bus. Or had a heart attack. Why would you automatically assume her sister murdered her with no context of that given anywhere in the story?"
