How does the eye's blind spot figure it out?

never knew that, I guess you learn something new everyday

first of all, our blind spot in the retina, is not that blind, nor is all that big, to reflect a true BLIND spot in our eyesight (or visual field, as you prefer).

It represents about ,5% (point five percent) of our entire visual field, and is so surrounded by cells named rods, that they compensate or cover that spot, without the need for adaptation.......or does anybody remember seeing a black hole in the visual field when they were kids???? NO

Does it need experience to fill the gap??? NO...experience in visual field, refers to people that recover the entire visual field...(for instance, after the removal of a tumor in the occipital cortex, or after a transplant of cornea) ..it takes for us, in the visual cortex, about 48 hours to adapt ourselves not only to the so called blind spot, but also to heavy loss of visual fields that we call SCOTOMATA (as a vivid example, some people with detached retina, or with retinal infarctions or optic neuritis of diabetes notice they have lost half visual field, when they walk into the office, and otice ONLY when tested for visual fields integrity)......so, as you see (of course you see), , in normal terms for a normal person, the blind spot, does not mean any loss of sight....at all..
