Algorithmic Angst: Advanced Guessing Technique 9

Introduction

Welcome to Algorithmic Angst, where the art of guessing is taken to new heights. In this technique, we'll explore the thrill of possibly, potentially, and probably getting it right.

Step 1: Ignore the Problem

Start by staring blankly at the screen, trying to will it away.

Step 2: Randomly Select an Option

Click the button, flip a coin, or just pick something. Who knows, maybe you'll get it right.

Step 3: Pretend You're Certain

Affect a confidence you don't feel, and shout 'I KNEW IT!' to the void.

Step 4: Attribute Success to Luck

When you do get it right (or not), attribute it to the whims of the universe.

Step 5: Repeat as Necessary

Repeat this process until you're blue in the face or your computer crashes.
