I really love these Phil comics, mfw I come across one.
I like how Phil has a psychopath's way of thinking.
It reminds me of a question my Psychology teacher told me that demonstrates a psychopath's way of thinking:
"Hannah is at her mother's funeral, and she meets the most wonderful guy there. Funny, handsome, clever, this guy had the whole package. However, he disappeared half way through the funeral and Hannah couldn't find him. She asked every guest at the funeral if they knew him or at least had his number, but to no avail. That night, Hannah goes home and kills her sister. Why did she kill her sister?"

my psych prof. told me the same story... another one is
Phil (irony) is at a family reunion. When he was little, his mother told him a story about his long lost sister. At the reunion he sees three women running up to him. the first says "Phil! I'm Shawna and i'm your long lost sister." The second gives him a huge hug and says "that bitch is lying, im your real sister". The third one stands in front of him and merely says "i'm Carol. And at least two of us always lies."
Who is the real sister? (yes there really is an answer

haha no :). Its Carol because she was nonchallant about it mostly, implying that if she was long lost, she wouldn't feel the need to stress over acceptance. and she wouldn't know anyone else at the reunion. and "two of us always lie", meaning the other two women :)

I think it's the second girl, because by saying first girl is lying (a true statement), she would no longer always be lying. So this means Carol must be lying. In fact, her name must not even be Carol, since she always lies. Which means, you can't even trust her when she says that at least two of them always lie.
hmm.. I think this means you can't trust Carol's math either. Thus at this point perhaps we can even assume that "at least two of us" can mean anything. Switch that to the reality of "at least one of us (being Carol herself)" and now we have a fitting scenario.. I think. That, or my brain just decided to stop chasing its tail.
What about the first girl's lie? Still a lie, but a coincidental one unrelated to Carol's statement (as Carol's statement can't be true). So while the first girl was lying in this instance, she is not prone to be always lying. Perhaps she even knows the second girl, which would explain the "ignore that bitch" intro. Two friends playfully interacting with each other. (and it is hypothetically possible that she knows this girl while still being your long lost sister. They may have been introduced to each other some time before the start of the reunion)

alrighty then
you walk into a science lab. on the table theres a jar with green liquid. you have 4 viles labeled A B C D in front of you, with a note saying to combite the liquids until you get the green one. the quantity and order doesnt matter. How would you go about it?

Correct!
Typically, a psychopath does not possess empathy for other people and will often view them as "disposable".
They will think "well, it's simple. Kill my sister, have another funeral, meet the guy again. Everybody wins".

Except if a psychopath puts themselves above everyone else, and has an iq over 80, they will realize that by killing someone they put themselves in jeopardy.
Ex: Murder with a flaw > get caught > jail.
So even if the girl was disposable, unless the psychopath was sure they could create a perfect murder situation (which generally takes a year of planning), the psychopath would not kill her for their own sake.
Basically Hannah is a special olympics psychopath.

Just because a psychopath has no capacity to empathize with other human beings does not mean that they can't feel lust/desire.
A sociopath wants something, and will get it by whatever the most logical means possible there are. They're good at acting too, so that they can keep a potential money/base human need/sex source going.

That's a sneaky way of technically getting the answer right.
There is a real answer to what her motive is, though.
Apparently those who do not think like a psychopath won't get the answer at first, so you can kinda count yourself lucky in a way.
