Someone reminded me that I was using dogwhistle parlance in my use of they which may have suggested otherwise.

    Right, but saying “three guesses” implies that the answer is something that’s slightly hidden.

    Or that it’s very obvious and they’re being sarcastic.

      That’s what I meant by “slightly”. It’s an expression that gets used when we all know the answer but it’s one that’s slightly under the surface.
