Getting 0 on a multiple choice is a statistical accomplishment greater than getting 100

I’m hoping it’s a joke I’m not understanding.

If you answer randomly, assuming there are 36 questions (the second column starts at 17) and 4 possible answers to each question, getting 0% is 150 quintilions more likely than getting 100%.

If you answer randomly only to questions you don't know, getting 0% is still easier than getting 100% (especially since you can know 1 out of the 4 is wrong without knowing which is the correct answer).

Even considering than in the Spiderverse movie the test was a true/false, in that situation getting 0% and getting 100% are equally as hard. There is no situation where getting 0% is harder than getting 100%
