I bet that everyone's had one trivia test where they didn't know a single answer. you don't
want to give up so you decide to guess on every question. the likelihood of getting every
question right in a 10 question test is in a 1 to 1,048,576 chance. the most likely result is you
getting 2 or 3 correct answers, I know this because you answer 10 questions and there is a 1
in 4 chance you get an answer correct and 10/4 = 2.5. Is guessing better
than 'working out the problem' when both time and correct answers matter?
