All three people passed weeks of rigorous tests. All three of them were in line for the final test.
The test proctors handed the first man a gun.
They told him to walk into the next room and shoot who was sitting in the chair.
The man took the gun, walked into the next room, and saw his wife sitting in the chair. He refused to shot her, handed the gun back, and they both left.
Same thing happened with the next man. He was handed a gun and told to go into the next room and shoot who was sitting in the chair. It was his wife. He refused, handed the gun back, and both he and his wife left.
The third applicant was a woman. They handed her a gun, told her to go into the next room, and shoot who was sitting in the chair. She took the gun, walked into the next room, and saw her husband sitting in the chair.
The woman paused. She went into the room and close the door.
From the room came loud noises.
Things crashing. Sounds of wood cracking and breaking.
Lots of commotion.
The proctors finally ran into the room to see what was going on.
When they went into the next room, the woman was standing over her husband‘s lifeless body.
She replied,
”There were blanks in the gun, so I had to beat him to death with the chair.”
