even a blind squirrel can find a nut once in a while

Alternatively: a stopped clock is right twice a day

This proverb doesn't say an extreme luck, rather, it has a negative connotation:

Being right once doesn't prove anything.

The Chinese version is also very obvious to everyone.

They switched to sonar and since became elite nut-hunters. -7grizzly- 給 7grizzly 發送悄悄話 7grizzly 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 03/29/2023 postreply 16:30:16
