Conjecture

What do we mean by conjecture?

Opinion or judgment based on inconclusive or incomplete evidence; guesswork. noun

An opinion or conclusion based on guesswork. noun

To judge or conclude by conjecture; guess. intransitive verb

To make a conjecture. intransitive verb

The act of forming an opinion without definite proof; a supposition made to account for an ascertained state of things, but as yet unverified; an opinion formed on insufficient presumptive evidence; a surmise; a guess. noun

Suspicious surmise; derogatory supposition or presumption. noun

Synonyms Supposition, hypothesis, theory. noun

To form (an opinion or notion) upon probabilities or upon slight evidence; guess: generally governing a clause.

Synonyms Imagine, Conjecture, Surmise, Guess, Presume, fancy, divine. Imagine literally expresses pure speculation, and figuratively expresses an idea founded upon the slightest evidence: as, I imagine that you will find yourself mistaken. Conjecture is something like a random throw of the mind; it turns from one possibility to another, and perhaps selects one, almost arbitrarily. Surmise has often the same sense as conjecture; it sometimes implies a suspicion, favorable or otherwise: as, I surmise that his motives were not good. Guess suggests a riddle, the solution of which is felt after by the mind—a question, as to which we offer an opinion, but not with confidence, because the material for a judgment is confessedly insufficient. To presume is to base a tentative or provisional opinion on such knowledge as one has, to be held until it is modified or overthrown by further information.

To form conjectures; surmise; guess.

Collatz Conjecture is a math equation created by mathematician Lothar Collatz in 1937. The math problem instructions are to input any number. If the number is odd you multiply by 3 and add 1. If the number is even you divide by 2. You will soon end up in the 4, 2, 1 loop. This math problem has not been solved yet Urban Dictionary

A json-conjecture hypothesizes that proving the number of platonic forms to be infinity^infinity in number proves that math is real. Urban Dictionary

The notion hat if you have an original philosophical thought, there is a 90% chance some philosopher some number of centuries ago already coined that thought with his own name. Urban Dictionary

1. An attempt to achieve a self-serving goal or objective by presenting an opinion or supposition about (something) on the basis of illogical and/or incomplete information. 2. Bullshit in disguise. Urban Dictionary

The Lalani-Frank conjecture is an economic theory that states that the potential for charitable actions is directly correlated to the amount of sex had. In the spirit of Lil Wayne: "Pussy, Money, {Altruism}" Urban Dictionary

Twin primes are prime numbers which differ by exactly 2. The twin prime conjecture states that there are infinitely many twin primes—that is, there are infinitely many pairs of prime numbers (p, q), where p < q, such that q − p = 2. The first few twin primes are (3, 5), (5, 7), (11, 13), (17, 19), (29, 31), (41, 43), ... Urban Dictionary
