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.

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.

I think anywhere between 30 and 36 inclusive would be the better guess as the second column starts at 19 and there looks to be only two columns.

but 100 points, could be 33, but that would be odd.

True. Though that may be for the entire test. The top indicates part 1 is a multiple choice section so there may be other parts that contribute.
