Hopefully meaning that I can predict the future, not that I'm an 
extremely old woman who lives in a cave and delivers prophecies in an 
ecstatic frenzy 
<http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Sybil+(oracle)>.

on experience with similar situations.  It's called inductive inference.  
Your situation is very similar to other Usenet mathematical 
revolutionaries manqu�.

It's not a job, just a pastime.  I did consider applying to The 
Hierarchy of Everything Malevolent to do this as a job, but they take it 
all *way* too seriously.
