    You should really just study for it and learn the information.

    1/(5^100)=1/(7.88860905*10^69)=1.2676506*10^-70

    That is the chance of you getting a perfect score guessing randomly

    I think rich is asking a different question, not about a perfect score. Rich, if there were but one question with 5 choices what would the average score be? 1 out of 5, right?
