to presume something there is some kind of evidence or theory to back it up, even if its very little. Its more of an educated guess. and a guess is just a shot in the dark, like picking the answer out of a hat

When you guess, you really have no idea or prior knowledge about what it is you are answering. When you presume you are answering based on prior knowledge that you have on that subject or question.

Presume is a logical conclusion; guess is a speculation.
