    I'm usually quite good at guessing where people live. I once guessed it down to exact home of someone, like street and housenumber, simply by looking at two photos of the person, one of her backyard and another of some urban park, that she posted on imageshack and this was from some suburb in texas with a lot of similar looking houses.

    ajt wouldn't actually be a name of a location near your home by any chance?

    as in AJT a computer company, or Association Jewish Theatre, or A.J. Taylor collection of a certain library? ;)


    wait nevermind there's a birthyear behind it, so I'm guessing it's just a name


    are your parents happily married or divorced like ichigo's parents?

    /me tries to narrow down to a neighbourhood ;)

    I know you live in South Africa, because that's what you told me, apart from that I don't know enough about you, to figure it out. Unlike some people you don't leave a trail of clues.

    You see I do need some clues to work with. For example if I know Adrian's age and I know for example that his parents divorced, when he was young, then it's reasonable to assume that he lives at his mother's house. Usually the same home their parents bought when they were still together. I can work out in which neighbourhood or neighbourhoods he lives in from the age of the house. It is likely that the house is about 1 year older than he is. Houses were built in a certain style or fashion, find the style or fashion of that age, 20 years ago and you know what neighbourhood to look for. That narrows it down to the neighbourhood. You can use information that one leaves behind on the forum about going to school for instance, to work out what street he lives in. For example does he have to walk to get the school bus. Then you've narrowed it down to the street. If he left a picture on imageshack or some other picture site about his home or backyard, then I can work out the exact house he lives in. Particularly pictures with trees in it, are good for that.

    You see it is somewhat of an art to determine the exact spot.

    In case you're wondering why are trees so good, it doesn't necessarily have to do with google maps. I once tracked down a home to the exact housenumber, because the tree told me the house was on an open road or thoroughfare and near some water, possibly a large pond, and there was only one house in that neighbourhood that fitted that description. Pretty clever hah?

    that would make it more difficult, if I were to assume that this means you moved at least once during your lifetime, then I would have to try and pin down the neighbourhood to socio-economic status of your parents, by your parent's jobs, which I don't know. I'd guess at least one of your parents has a government job, like nurse or teacher, but I'm not entirely sure of that. Also since I can't remember what place you lived in inside South Africa, i can't really narrow down to the neighbourhood, since I don't know what city to start at. If it means that you haven't moved once, then I'd guess a neighbourhood near the centre, hence why the home is old.

    A home having been redone many times does tell me a lot though. Not everyone has their home redone a lot. It can either mean that it's 1) really really old, 2) that one of your parents is a interior decorator, or architect, or works in the construction business (I can use that as an indicator for socio-economic status), or 3) the home is social welfare housing (I can also use that as an indicator for socio-economic status).

    if I had to judge by the name, I would guess somewhere near Detroit. Probably in the southern part of Michigan, like Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo or Lansing...

    if I had to guess between those 3, probably Ann Arbor, since you're so definitive on the "US" in your location ;)

    Am I wrong?

    really I was told people only use 10% of their brain ;)

    I don't use this all time, just now for guessing this stuff.

    basically what I do is piece together stuff that I know and then start eliminating possibilities till I come up with something that is probable.

    It's kind of like Sherlock Holmes ;)
