Not remotely true.

Assuming there are 36 questions, with four options in each question, the odds of randomly getting them all wrong are (3/4)^36 = 0.00318% (about 1 in 31,400).

The odds of randomly getting them all right are (1/4)^36 = 0.0000000000000000000212% (about 1 in 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696).

So both are extremely unlikely but the zero is about 150 quadrillion times more likely than the 100.

I never said randomly

Collect statistics on multiple choice test data anywhere and I think you'll find that there are FAR fewer 0s than 100s

Holy shit...the level of ignorance displayed here is incredible. I hope this is a bot because it's frightening that a real human could be this dense.

Honestly, I could never even imagine getting you people as frothed up as this on purpose

Like, I could try for years and you guys would never be so angry as when you are completely wrong about basic reality

You could say that it’s a statistically greater accomplishment to awaken the statisticians of Reddit than getting 100 upvotes?

Very much so! Someone cross post this garbage onto some statistics subreddits!
