According to your uneducated ass to guess means to calculate? Aren't you supposed to calculate for me? If there is no trick when you ask me to subtract the result from the day I was born, then how come the number 1763 goes up each year? You still fail to understand that not every calculation is considered a guess, and you still fail to understand that if you were to give me this method face to face, you would end up asking me to subtract a result from my birthdate in order to get it right, and if I had to do this problem by myself in my head then how are you guessing my first number and age unless I told you? You make no sense whatsoever, and in no ways I was saying that my method is amazing or mind blowing, like I said it's basic, it goes up each year just like your method in which the number 1763 goes up each year.
Your argument is blind and ignorant, you're lazy to read and understand what I'm saying and once you do all you do is say that my example is stupid, you're just making up excuses to protect this thread and won't accept that this is just a thread showing a math concept, not guessing my age. Now pretend you're in math class and the teacher told you to pick a number and find a way to end up with that number and your age every time, would it be easy? If you think that this is easy and doesn't require some critical thinking then why did you make a thread calling this mind blowing? Now you're just contradicting yourself, why would you even make a thread about it if it's just simple adding, subtracting, and multiplication? What you just said supports my thought that this is not guessing and is considered calculating, and again you continue to beg me to make a stupid thread, for some reason you think I would be stupid enough to start a thread over a basic concept which also "guesses your age" if your method was "guessing", you can't tell that this problem is not considered guessing and I don't have the right to call you an idiot? Freedom of speech is The First Amendment, and before you bring it up again because you completely disregarded what I just said, if you were given a number and were told to find a way to get that number and your age every time as a result would that be easy? You're saying that it's easy when you do the math, that's not what I'm talking about, it's not so easy when you're the one who has to figure that out. And once again, just because I showed that I don't like the thread I am mad? You're calling me a troll, so in what ways would I be mad if I'm a troll and you're the one mentioning it which shows that you're butthurt, not only are you classifying me as a troll, but you're also telling me that I'm lacking education, and you're the one who is lacking some serious education, go back to your math and english teacher and ask them how to use the word guess while not mixing it with calculations that don't make it a guess, this requires some effort from both teachers for you understand how to fully utilize the word. You're really asking me to go back and read your positive comments when all I see is you trash talking with other people and someone saying that this thread has already been posted many times? You call that positive? You're proud of a thread filled with failure, congrats!
"No, sir you don't understand that facts. Guessing does not have one definition and I've already proven you wrong so why would you keep pushing a losing argument?" I just proved how your concept is not considered a guess, didn't your math and english teacher show you that words can have exceptions? A guess is formed based on insufficient information and if I have to use my birth year to give you the result then that is more than enough information. I think I've explained enough and there is no need to break anything down anymore, I feel like I'm teaching a very spoiled kid that you're not always right. It's not bitching out, it's just simply not wasting my time trying to educate a prick who thinks he's always right.
You are the one that fails to understand that I guess your age by the outcome number. I typed this up as a tutorial how to do the trick, I still end up guessing your age. That is the fact. In a person to person confrontation I would have you do the math in your head then tell me the outcome. With this number I guessed your number and age with you doing all the work. What are you trying to argue here? Seems like you don't even know. You said, "guessing and calculating are two different things, guessing is like I don't give you my birthdate at all and you have to figure out my age" "calculating is I give you the birthdate you do whatever to it but still get my age". I don't know your birth date at all and still guess your age with the outcome number. "According to your uneducated ass to guess means to calculate?" You are the one uneducated in the ways the word guess can be used. Why would I have to calculate for you? that makes no sense when you clarified that telling me the birth date would mean it's not a guess? You think just because the number goes up every year makes it a trick? That doesn't make it the trick. I never stated every calculation is a guess but in this way it is. Yes you do subtract the birth year to yourself, you tell me the outcome number, and I break it down to guess the number and age. If you were to do this face to face, then came up with let's say 820 you wouldn't know that 8 was your number, and that 20 was your age unless I said something. You compare my method to yours again but one is "basic" the other is "advanced. How is this alike? Just because a number changes by the years doesn't make this similar.
You are the one that is blind and ignorant for sticking to your pointless argument when I have proved that a guess can be a calculation. I say more then your example is stupid, yes it is by the way, I explain to you how your ignorance makes you blind when it comes to facts. The method is mind blowing because it works not because of how "advanced", as you say, it is. In my college math course, for an extra credit game, I was showed this trick to "guess peoples age" as the professor stated. He explained how your so called advanced math was broken down to simple math. Simple math can involve critical thinking, but it no way is it impossible to come up with a method. You are trying to sell it like no one can come up with this without putting some advanced math to it, if that is true then why was only addition, subtraction, and multiplication used. The tutorial is not on how it was created it is about simple adding, subtracting, and multiplication to make the guess of your age. Now you're telling me that some child who can't properly type sentences and does not know that a word can be used in more then one way is going to tell me otherwise? Quit trying you're making yourself look like the troll you are. Yes, you are a troll. You came on my thread to argue pointless things just like the rest. If I went on every thread of yours and mentioned how bad your grammar was then I'd be the troll. Here you are the troll trying to pick out little things to start an argument about. Anything I've said does not support your statement that calculating can't be used in a guess. I don't beg you for anything, you claimed it was the same thing so why not test your theory? Exactly you are the one stupid enough to claim that they are alike but won't back it up by testing this. How is one thing "basic" but the other is "advanced if they are the same? An idiot can not claim someone else is one especially an ignorant idiot trying to argue something he was proven wrong about. You bring up Freedom of Speech into your argument about calling someone an idiot. This is beyond immature. I don't disregard anything you say, I just merely explain to you why it's not a valid argument. You are mad it's obvious, you disliking the thread only proves that once proven wrong you thought in someway disliking the thread will make you feel better. You are a troll, you come onto threads and try to start an argument with pointless nonsense. I in no way am butt hurt, I enjoy laughing at how trolls on this website fail to win then show just how angry they are when proven wrong. I am lacking education? When you edited your post you should of had your English teacher help you make sentences. Then ask your English and Math teacher if a guess can be a calculation. While you are at it you should ask them if this method is classified as guessing the age. Typical for a troll to only read what other trolls posted. They did the same thing you have, argue pointless things until proven wrong. It's been clarified that the post was previously posted but the forum moderators haven't closed it yet. You must not know what positive means then there are people, not trolls, who put their positive comments up. I am proud of my thread because it shows how to shut the illiterate trolls up. Yes I said you are illiterate, learn to make a proper sentence.
You proved only one thing that words can have exceptions. Your English teachers should of thought you that a guess can include information. Use the TV shows LINGO and Wheel of Fortune, you get information(the letters) and make your guess when you know it. Even when there is one letter left, clearly exposing the word, you still make a guess. Are you going to mail them a letter saying they aren't guessing? You don't give me the birth year, you give me the outcome number, with this I make my guess. You explained only how far you are willing to troll until proven wrong. You teach me? What a joke, educate yourself first. You are clearly "bitching out" because your ignorance didn't win. You are proven wrong get over it stop trolling.
