Mad Women In the Attic... Multiple Choice Qiz


One aspect of this episode that gets me every time that gets me is what was with the 0/10 score on the test? As Fitz says the odds on not getting one or two right at random are staggering, yet we later know that Kelly is innocent and genuinely has amnesia.

Can anyone explain this discrepancy?

reply

Kelly does actually have amnesia, but Fitz wants to check him out, so for all we know Kelly's answers may not have all been wrong anyway, Fitz just TELLS him they are wrong to see how he reacts to that, to see if he can trip him up. Does that make sense? As he HAS lost his memory he wouldn't know if they were right or wrong in the first place.

reply

easy; he was a monk, thus knowing nothing of the outside world.

Yes, but as Fitz points out even random guessing on a multiple choice quiz would get you on average about 33%. This is something that's always bothered me as well.

It's an "average", which doesn't mean he can't get every question wrong. Some people are lucky, some are not. He was unlucky one...

Fitz said that just to wind him up, hoping the stress might trigger reversal of amnesia.

This line does not exist.

I also think Fitz is bluffing to see Kelly's reaction.

reply

Fitz says the odds are astronomical, but they actually aren't.
2/3 to the power 10 only gives 0.0173 or 1.73%. So the odds are better than 1 in 60. It makes it unlikely but nowhere near astronomical.
