If you guess randomly (CBADBA or whatever), it's possible to be unlucky enough to get every guess wrong.

If you guess AAAAA, you basically guarantee that about 20% of them are correct.

Not really - there’s equal chance that there’s a long string of zero hits on any given letter as there is a chance of of weaving a thread and missing all correct answers with the same number of random guesses.

Is there no marginable percentage increase if I do, say B and C for my answers and go through and randomly select a few B's along side majority C's? Given you have reasonable expectation that the correct answers won't be a straight line of ALL C's. Would this not give any slight increase in score? Given answers are distributed randomly.
