I suggest a 3 question set in future.  It will detect the subtle answers more readily.

0/3 -> 2 possibilities -> bottom 33.3%
1/3 -> 3 possibilities -> top 66.6%  (2 chances out of 3 to score 1 or more right)
3/3 -> 1 possibility -> top 16.6%

I can do 3 sets of 3 questions per day.

I have to work out a FAIL benchmark.

A PASSMARK will just be accumulating the odds broken until I reach the required 1,000,000:1.
