Without a count of some sort, you have no basis for putting time back on. We may not have a precise definition of "definite knowledge," but I'm going to stick my neck out and say one thing it definitively cannot mean is "best guess." Unless you're talking about an official's count, which is just a way of using muscle memory to come up with a ... wait for it ... "best guess."
Fixed it for you.
