Title: The Art of a Lucky Guess
Sometimes, we guess without knowing, and we are correct. This is called a lucky guess. Many people have lucky guesses in games, quizzes, or daily life. But why does this happen?
Scientists say our brain stores more information than we realize. So even if we think we are guessing, we might be using memory.
In one study, people guessed the answers to questions. Some said they didn’t know, but they got them right. Their brains remembered the facts, even if they didn’t feel sure.
So a lucky guess might not be only luck. It could be our brain helping us quietly!
