Answer 5

OMG! That looks sooo easy! Thank you

Answer 6

Which method do you refer to as easy?

Answer 7

I guess we'll never know.

Answer 8

no problem

Answer 9

She never specified which method was better.

Answer 10

mine :P

Answer 11

Negative. We'll never know

Answer 12

indeed, but we can assume

Answer 13

You gave her the answer, by expressing steps, but the general methodology is missing.

Answer 14

..... you break it into 100ths, then you just get 2 of them

Answer 15

simple indeed

Answer 16

It's too late now.

Answer 17

She's gone

Answer 18

ya, but it is the thought that counts...

Answer 19

wait, it is a she?

Answer 20

idk, just guessing.

Answer 21

Why would you assume it is a she?

Answer 22

There must be a deeper psychological meaning to this...

Answer 23

Why does that matter? Like I said, it was a guess.

Answer 24

most people guess that people are guys.

Answer 25

Not necessarily. If the person's name was elena, you would guess it was a guy, would you?

Answer 26

no, but if the person had a vague name, such as @ntnse01 would you still?

Answer 27

Like I said, it was a guess.

Answer 28

a strange guess though...

Answer 29

If you guess it was a boy, it is the same chance of being wrong. 50-50

Answer 30

Everybody has different perspectives.

Answer 31

yes, but the majority of people usually assume that if a person has a vague name, that it is a guy.

Answer 32

I don't consider myself the majority. I consider myself part of the top 1%

Answer 33

oh, really now.

Answer 34

So majority rules don't apply to me.

Answer 35

Don't try to pull rank on me....

Answer 36

I didn't. I was just stating a fact of my perspective.

Answer 37

well, you are unusual then, that would explain everything.

Answer 38

If she is a girl, then you are wrong.

Answer 39

"unusual" for better or worse....

Answer 40

yes, but I am betting it is a guy

Answer 41

I could say that you're also equally weird and unusual for guessing a guy.

Answer 42

no, because the majority of people automatically assume people are guys on the internet unless their name suggests otherwise...
