Answer: She was hoping that the guy would appear at the sister's funeral.
If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath. This was a test used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer. Many arrested serial killers have taken this test and answered it correctly.
If you didn't answer correctly, good for you.
I'll seriously like to know your response, please comment!

Just so you know, this is not an actual story, and has no psychological basis. This story was featured at Snopes, proving to be nothing more than an urban legend ... a hoax.
You can see the info about it on snopes here:

Now, to give my own opinion of the urban legend, since I have training in abnormal, behavioral and criminal psychology, I can assure you that if a person answers it correctly, it does not mean they have the mind of a serial killer. What it means is they have the ability to think in abstract thought ... which is a positive attribute, not a negative. It's usually a sign of high intelligence.
For the record, most convicted serial killers in history were statistically of low or average intelligence, indicating a very low chance of them being able to think in terms of abstract thought ... quite the opposite of the intent of the story.

well thank god I got it wrong and I am glad to fasil ths test. I thought she killed her because it was her sister she must have met diguised as a guy or sister also loved the guy. If success is failure turned inside out this is the test to prove it so.

What if the one who participates the test just tries to figure out an usual guess and he happen to give a correct answer. On the contrary, a very clever criminal knows the trick behind the test and he pretends to be not knowing the correct answer. Then the test may not be a suitable means to check one is a serial killer or not. Sorry I am just making a wild guess. And I did't come up with a correct answer for the question.
