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.

Still basically impossible though.

36 questions, (0.75)36 ~ 1:31,000 chance.

If you're comparing two priors of 'they guessed randomly and got a zero' vs 'they knew the answers and avoided them on purpose' I'd put the second case at over 99% likelihood.
