When somebody asks you a question and you do not know the answer,what do you do?Do you admit that you don't know the answer or do you start bluffing?

Heh! Sometimes I bluff, but mostly I tell him/her, that I don't know the answer. Only if it is very necessary to answer something,I start bluffing!

Is your bluff anyway nearer to the correct answer or not?

Hi!! It depends on the situation m in lol.M an engineer so whenever we had our orals I used to blurt utter nonsense even when I don't use to have even a slight idea about the question being asked to me :D.Also it was necessary to talk something rather than be quiet and let the examiner feel that I am a complete dumb and don't know anything.But when I gave my first interview I preferred to keep mum when I didn't know the answer and just replied that I had no idea about it because there knowing what to talk was more necessary.As for my friends or near ones,if they ask me something and if m not aware of it I plainly tell them that I have no idea about the thing being asked :).I feel its the situations m in that decides my bluffing lol.

Only in school life I had done that.There was a teacher who wanted his student to say anything and should not stand without any words.if we idn't say something,he would start beating.Sometimes.we can escape by bluffing something.But in real life now,I don't like to bluff.Just accept my ignorance so that I will not make a fool of myself.

I'l usually go and find out, but sometimes mischief takes hold of me and I'll bluff it out. I can do it with a straight face, too, so I usually convince people I'm right. After I've had my fun, I'll come clean - usually!

When I don't know something I'll be up front and say so. However, if I'm unsure I'll offer my best guess but make sure it's clear that I don't really know, but I do know a little about the subject matter being talked about. I'm very insiteful or try to be, and most answers I figure through tril and error or some other means.
