 When you respond to someone's question by saying "your guess is an good as mine" you are letting them know that you can not speak with certainty about something. If you were to answer their question, you would only be guessing.

példák / examples:
  • Jill: How long should we bake this pie? Jane: Your guess is as good as mine.
  • 'How long do you think this job will take?' 'Your guess is as good as mine.'
  • 'What does he doing?' 'Your guess is as good as mine.'
  • How that links to a bloody great sea serpent... your guess is as good as mine.
