'If there are any questions about what the word "guess" means,I suggest looking it up in a dictionary.' -- CarolC
I just happen to have a dictionary in my office, so let's see--
From the 'American Heritage Dictionary", Third Edition, p. 604: GUESS "b. To assume or assert (a fact) without sufficient information."
So, using the dictionary definition, do you have information, or do you just want your assertion to be what happened? From your response to my original question, it would seem to be the latter.
