Sometimes we simply don’t have all of the information that we need to make an informed decision. This can be true whether we’re trying to guess how many marbles are in a jar, or whether we’re estimating how much an upcoming electric bill is going to be. In those instances, all you can do is to take a wild guess.

Of course, there is also a holiday that encourages people to make wild guesses over the course of a day, and this holiday is called National Take A Wild Guess Day. On this day, a day that falls on April 15th, people are encouraged to take their wildest guesses to see if they’re right.

The History Of National Take A Wild Guess Day

Unfortunately, at this time, we can’t locate the history of National Take A Wild Guess Day, although there are some Internet rumors that proclaim that this holiday was created by one website or the other, there’s no concrete evidence to back up any of those claims. We’ll keep working to try to uncover the history of this holiday, but until we do, we’re not even going to take a wild guess about it.

Observing National Take A Wild Guess Day

Even though not many people realize it, guessing is an art and a quite useful skill to possess. It would be pretty annoying if we had to make precise calculations for everything that we do, and guessing really cuts through all of that and allows us to at least come close to an exact figure.

While you’re making wild guesses, be sure to use the hashtag #NationalTakeAWildGuessDay to spread the word about this holiday to friends, family members, and colleagues alike.
