Deductive Musing

A long scarf glitters in a shaft of sunlight, it's glitter and beige wool catching the sun yet obliviously ignored by people passing by. A female owner by my guess, most probably a lightly tanned youth of European descent. First year, as later years tend to skimp on the accessories and are more wary of the belongings. Statistics indicate a Health Science student who enjoys chatting with her girlfriends and has a few close guy friends.

The tag would help me further, although I'm guessing by the colour and shape it's from somewhere like Glassons. Flatting then, a dorm student is more likely to be from overseas and to wear a scarf of bulkier knit, furthermore a foreign student is less likely to leave the scarf scrunched in a pile like this one was. Colour suggests a blond with tied up hair, the scarf is thin and they want to make their neck look skinnier, again suggesting a girl more interested in sociality than warmth.

The location then, left behind on a bar table at the very end, she most probably had a quick bite to eat around 1 o'clock with the more comfy chairs already occupied. Stool is neatly tucked in with a partner, she had a friend and the neatness adds another tick to the 'female' column.

Altogether these indicate a young Health Sci scarfie grabbing a quick lunch between a lecture and a lab (They are 3 hours long so you want to eat beforehand but the earlier lecture cut down on time), cramming in their lab book homework before the lab starts. Realizes the time when chatting to friend and ran off to class, forgetting the scarf they took off so they could eat.

I will never actually learn if I'm correct, but it's good mental exercise. Noting these things takes so little time now it has merged into a sort of 'sense' of the owner of these abandoned belongings, I no longer work them out step by step anymore. I suppose that's what they call deductive reasoning nowadays, but I prefer to think of it as developing a instinct.

Don't sue me, but I judge.
