Let's face it, this says something about the world of investing....It's pure luck.

This lady, a financial cavewoman with respect to all the investment wizards out there using expensive sophisticated software, beat them all by throwing a dart in the right spot.

I'm guessing if this had been a brain-surgery contest, there would be no chance someone who had never touched a scalpel would have even been in the top 99.99% of potential winners.
