Please can you replicate red marked text in the other way??? What is the synonym of the phrase "figured it was"?? 
No "I figured", just "figured it was"....This is why I am little confused...

rica.

First let me correct your sentence: Trust me; I know it was shot in the dark but figured it was worth a try. The bus in the background seems to be from a company in Costa Rica. You could say "but gauged", "but estimated", "but calculated".
