like i said, you can't know what effect a change in the input will have in the output; the number you're guessing is part of the input, you can't just say you got an output without showing the inputs you used to get there

Yes, I heard you.  I believe 'why?' is a good follow up question.

What's the relationship between the input and the output?  Isn't there some kind of determination of a certain output given by a certain input?  Will a given input always produce the same output?  My apologies, I don't quite get it. 
this isn't elementary algebra

No shit.

In another thread that I read, I envisioned it as a 'guess-the-number' game.  So, it'd be like if I told you to "guess a number between 1 and a million" where the only acceptable values are 0, 1, 2, and 3, and then after a difficulty increase, the only acceptable numbers are 0, 1, and 2, and so on.  There's no way to tell your computer to hash out all 0's for example?
no, thats not how hashing works. go to the wiki

The output of the hashing is unpredictable, you can't know what will change in the output if you change somthing in the input.

Hi,

I don't know much about coding and therefore do not exactly know how programs like the Bitcoin client and GUIminer operate.  So, here is my question...

Is there any way to essentially tell your computer to only hash out low values so that it solves the block quickly?  So, instead of random guessing, you're narrowing the parameters under which it can guess even further, thereby resulting in a more likely chance to solve the block? 

By the way, in the odd event that this is possible, that nobody has thought of it yet, and that someone decides to implement it for their gain, I want part of the consistent 50-BTC payout  Grin
