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.

This also happens in The Magicians and some other shows I can't remember that are older than that.

It was in a Peanuts cartoon many decades ago. “I trued when I should have falsed.”

That was Linus! Earlier in the week he answered the questions based on what order the true and false answers should be in, without reading any of the questions.

What stayed with me was the last panel of that one : "If you're smart, to pass a true or false test you don't need to be very smart!"
