Consider: When you were 15 years old, if you bothered to think about it, you would have thought that you were pretty dumb when you were 10. When you were 20, you should have known that you were pretty dumb when you were 15. Apply inductive reasoning.


Mark Twain is often considered to have said.
When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.
