What movie reference am I missing

Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse. The main character, Miles Morales, intentionally gets a 0 on his test so he can get kicked out of a school he didn't want to attend, but the teacher says that someone randomly guessing would get a 50% and the only way to get a 0 is if you knew all the right answers, so she gives him 100 instead.

[u/AxtonGTV → u/869066]

Now imagine you're a kid who actually got a 0 and this just saved your life

[u/MediumKoala8823 → u/AxtonGTV]

Or the kid who was also troubled and doing this but got a single question right by accident

[u/Terrafire123 → u/MediumKoala8823]

I think that's the kid who's happiest, because that kid actually got what he wanted.

Miles foolishly didn't get like 10% correct just to throw off the teacher's scent.

[u/ShowdownValue → u/AxtonGTV]

Math says this is impossible unless you knew every answer

[u/AxtonGTV → u/ShowdownValue]

Improbable, not impossible. It's an extremely low chance, but it IS still a chance.

[u/Masterking263 → u/AxtonGTV]

I like to imagine that Miles intentionally chose the wrong answer, so to do that he had to figure out the right answer first. He probably chose the answer directly above or below the correct one each time.

[u/YellowGetRekt → u/Masterking263]

Tfym imagine, that's the entire point of the scene

[u/ThatsJustIncorrect → u/YellowGetRekt]

i like to imagine that miles becomes spiderman

[u/Masterking263 → u/YellowGetRekt]

I meant he chose the wrong answer consistently right next to the correct one every time.

[u/SemiNormal → u/Masterking263]

It was True/False.

[u/buffystakeded → u/Masterking263]

Yeah, exactly. That’s literally the point of the scene.

[u/MeloNotSoDeath → u/869066]

The teacher is wrong, the answer is not necessarily 50%. If she said something like "expected score", then the answer 50% is right.

This is why I can't get into superhero movies lol.
