Educated Guess

[bobbie22]

Ca anyone tell me what an educated guess is? People on quizzes say that they have made an educated guess, then they invariably get the answer wrong.

Did you see the educated guess on Pointless the other night?

'Which William wrote the play, Hamlet?'

Answer, ' William Tell' I nearly died laughing. I hurt my ribs!

They went on to win the jackpot the next evening. Good for them.

I too went for a punt on the Cam once. Half fell in and lost the pole.

[Arksided]

when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth

[Psybbo]

Postdog, was it really you?

Like a hunch then, eh?

Lighten off Excel, Talbot. He hasn't been able to land a full-time job, some short term work but nothing stable, so he's a bit under the weather about it - and that's not an educated guess. As a result, he hasn't felt like coming on here.

My guess on Hansel and Gretel is that Humpy's librettist was an old soak.....

[Baldric]

A guess based on knowledge and experience.

A woman on a recent quiz said she was sure she was right with her answer as she'd been there on holiday....Guess what, she got it wrong!!
