There is a risk here that the professor who only assigns 10 problems will only check one of them for correctness. If 5/10 of the answers are wrong but the professor verifies a correct answer for one of the 5/10 with a correct solution then their conclusion that the other 9/10 answers are correct due to some likelihood or probability function is invalid and a dimwit makes the grade.
Maybe professors should flip the script, instead of testing a student, have the student convince the professor they know the material. You will not pass until the professor feels confident.
Sounds a dissertation format maybe.
