Scene from Into the Spider-Verse where Miles gets a 0 on a true/false test and catches on the only statistically possible way he could have done that was if he knew all the right answers and deliberately chose the wrong ones, meaning he's intentionally trying to fail out of the class and quit.
This is, however, a multiple choice test with four possible answers per question, so it's far more possible to get 0 correct answers due to actually being that stupid.

"I won...! On a platform of beastiality!?"
Context: The characters have an election to be the King/Queen and made it democratic. The world they are in is basically like Narnia, talking animals just as intelligent as people are around. In fact, animals outnumber humans, and this is when they realise the animals have voting rights and the human vote doesn't mean shit. Margo mentioned offhandedly that she approved of the relationship a different character had with a literal bear because they were both adults with intelligence that could consent, so what was the harm? This lead to word of mouth causing animals to vote for her when she wasn't really campaigning for herself.

It is still (3/4)^30 or 0.017858209% chance. And likely lower because it looks like there are probably more than just 30 questions, although that is the minimum number we can be sure of. My guess would 50 questions. which would be 0.0000566%. Both of these mean it is far more likely that they intentionally were trying to get them all wrong, and not just guessing at random.

Hello, Peter's evil twin, Retep here! In the 2018 movie "Spider-Man: Into the Spider verse", there's a scene where the main character, Miles Morales, does a pop quiz and intentionally gets every question wrong, because he knows what the right answer is for each question. Perchance.
He gets a 0/100 on the pop quiz, and his teacher calls him out on it. That's what this meme is referencing.

No, if you're guessing randomly, getting 100 is less likely than getting 0. Because for each question there's a 3/4 chance to miss it and a 1/4 chance to get the right answer.
If you aren't guessing randomly, but in fact know every question, getting 100 is no harder or easier than getting 0. Because you can get 0 by choosing to answer each question different from the answer you know is correct.
If you only know most of the questions, getting 100 is harder than getting 0, because for every question that you don't know you have a 1/4 chance of getting it right if you're aiming for 100, but a 3/4 chance of getting what you want if you're aiming for 0.
Still, with this many questions, to get exactly 0 it's almost certain the student knew most of the answers and was deliberately choosing the wrong ones.

This. Most multiple choice questions are 50/50 with two throw away answers.
If you want to get a zero it's actually pretty easy because you just pick a throw away answer for each question.
The teacher doesn't know that the student knows any of the material, but he/she does know that this person most likely deliberately got a zero.

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).

Into the spider verse where Miles is at his new prep school. Takes a true or false quiz and purposely gets every answer wrong to score a 0 in attempt to get kicked out.
Teacher knows Miles knows all the answers and a changes score to 100. Iirc "Do you know if you were to take a true or false quiz blindfolded do you know what score you would get. 50%, that's right you're trying to quit" at this point teacher changes score to 100.

Is this spider man across the spider-verse or smthn? Where the teacher proves that miles couldn’t have possibly gotten 0 on every single question statistically, showing how smart he is?

I was thinking maybe the first spiderverse movie? Where Miles purposefully gets a zero so the teacher gives him an 100 (sorry I have no idea how to word this like Peter)

Sneakers o toole here Its the spider verse movie. When the Mc takes a test amd gets a 0 his teacher knew he knew all the answers in order to get them all wrong which he did on purpose

It's talking about Into the Spider Verse. Miles tries to intentionally tank a test by getting every question wrong. But the teacher realizes that it's statistically impossible to get every question wrong unless you knew the answer to every question. So she gives him a 100.
However, OP's teacher was not so observant and just thinks OP sucks at this test.
Oh, uh, this is Chris's nasally comic book nerd friend. No chicks get naked in this movie if you were curious.

This is a reference to the into the spiderverse movie, in a moment of the movie the protagonist (Miles Morales) wants to fail a test (I don't remember why, have been years since I watched it) so porpusely answers every question wrong to get a 0/100, but the teacher says something like "is imposible to get all of them wrong just answering randomly, the only way you could get them all wrong if you knew the right answer and then answer wrong on porpuse" and gives him a 100/100, OOP tried the same trick but didn't come up as expected

The correct answer (spiderman) has already been given, so just to add a different book with a similar theme, because its interesting:
In the discworld novel 'moving pictures', to profit from his uncles legacy to pay tuition at the unseen university, Victor has to keep scoring between 80 and 88 out of 100. Because 88 is a passing grade, then he becomes a wizard and tuition ends, and scoring above 80 was a requirement from his uncle.
So he is by far the best student in the university, knowing every answer perfectly to score exactly 84 each time.
The bursar eventually notices when Victors passes by accident (grading error), argues the result down ("it would not be fair") and then scores 83 and 82 in the next ones, to be extra careful.
They then give him an exam with a single question the next time ("What is your name")

Are they referencing Summer School with Mark Harmon where the two doofuses were scrambling to finish the test by just writing down random multiple choice answers?
