I had actually heard this one before (and did not know the answer). My friend who told it to me said afterwards it was a test that only a psychopath would get right (edit: no offense, OD!) since the reasoning used shows total disregard for all other human life. I didn't feel so bad not coming up with the answer.
Quote: JoemanShe reasoned that the Mystery Man that attended her mother's funeral would also attend her sister's, and she could meet Mystery Man again. Poor guy.

Pah! Who ever scored at an actual funeral?Quote: RomesAm I the only one that notices he uses "wake" then "funeral" almost as though they're one in the same, even though they are not? Wake is before the funeral, potentially days before.
$:o)
Quote: OnceDearNone taken. Actually, the mystery guy was a psychiatrist seeking out new patients and a life partner and he'd murdered the mother $:o)
Because he was the mortician, and she figured the only way she could meet him again is at another wake.
Just don't go to the burger place next door - try the Italian place across the street instead.
Close enough, except "afterwards no one seems to know who he was."Quote: ThatDonGuy

The main thing that gives me pause is the two weeks. It seems so specific.
Quote: WizardThe mother was rich. This guy was a gold digger who cases wakes like this, looking for a single newly-rich heiress. He sister looked like the better mark, so he focused his efforts on her. They had a two-week relationship but it went sour. So he killed her, lest she warn her sister, planning to then focus his efforts on the living sister.

you know, I sound like a real pantywaist there
I mean really! pulling something like this for your chuckles.
I'll just add for Mr. Bill Ryan that I am actually quite pissed. Not funny. I don't care if you didn't realize it was a BS thing. And I would finish with a real profane blast at you ... and I think I can say that's atypical ... but i do not want to get suspended during the NFL pool we have going.
What's black and white and red all over?

Two weeks later, the woman is at her sister’s house. In the kitchen, she sees her sister’s cell phone and checks out the photos on it. She finds an old selfie – a selfie that her sister took in bed with their Mom and that wonderful man from the funeral. A ménage-a trois.
“So that’s how he knew my Mom,” she thought, “and why my sister denied knowing him.”
The pain. There is so much pain. She reachs for a kitchen knife. The knife rises, and then falls. Her sister is . . . gone. Her Mom, her sister . . . they must be avenged.
She takes the cell phone and the knife to her secret hiding place, beneath the basement stairs. She searchs the cell phone, and discovers the name of the mysterious man who has ruined her Mom, her sister, her dreams. His name is . . Bill Ryan.
“He thinks this is just a riddle. But I’ll show him. First, I need to get out of this spoiler box.”
She takes the knife and cuts through the edge of the spoiler box, and steps out into the post.
Gordonm888 is sitting in a chair at his computer, he never sees her coming. She thrusts up and twists. She slits him open. She chops up his little macaronis.
She takes her knife and cuts through the side of the post. She is now loose in the thread.
It is night. Bill Ryan is on the street. A woman-shaped shadow separates from a blacker patch of darkness. A flash of silver, a knife comes down. The street runs red with crimson.
She looks around the thread. OnceDear, Joeman, Romes, ThatDonGuy. Wizard. Ayecarumba, odiousgambit. They all must pay.
And after? “Well, the walls of this thread don’t look like they will survive the kiss of a knife. Perhaps I’ll wander the threads of this forum and see what I find.”
You thought this was a riddle. But she is coming for you.
The horror has begun.

Joeman, I'm going to have to kill you and then myself.Quote: Joemanshe'll find her way into the Two Dice Puzzle thread. If she gets into that one, it won't be long til she turns the knife on herself!
It took years of therapy to get that thread out of my head and you just resurrected the nightmare. $;o)

LOL, great fun. And creative use of spoilers.
