With 100 questions, the answer of getting all 100 wrong is less than 1 in 3 trillion. So while statistically way more likely than 100 true false, in reality, they are equal levels of impossible to happen by chance.

Statistics are representative not prescriptive

You serious right now? Yeah. I get that. We all get that. But there’s a 1 in 3 trillion chance of it not being prescriptive.

But let’s be real here: The chances of getting all 100 mc wrong is the same as the world deciding one person wins the lottery out of the entire world and it being you, but only if you can guess the month and day that a random person wrote and put in an envelope.

You’re not going to be the person that wins the lottery. And you’re not even guessing that date right.

In fact, let’s go down that road.

It’s the same as you guessing that date right for three different people ina row pulling the single magician signed card out of a deck, and then guessing which hat the ball is under without seeing them put it under in the first place

Better yet. Just get a quarter. Let me know when you flip heads 42 times in a row. Tape it for me.
