the meaning of guess

[optimistic pessimist]

Dear all,

If I say "we guessed the new teacher's age", does that imply our guess was right?

Thank you!

It does to me, yes.

It doesn't to me.

It didn't at first, and then upon re-reading, it did.
If you weren't correct or you don't konw if you were correct, then "We guessed at" or "We tried to guess" would sound better to me.

I'm sure "guessed at" is going to raise some comments.
