There is a nice German saying

Ein blindes Huhn findet auch ein Korn. = A blind chicken will also find a seed.

This means that if you stab around in the dark, you will sooner or later hit lucky, by accident. This is used often when somebody gets the right answer to a question by sheer chance.

Is there an equivalent in Spanish? :)

Una posibilidad es que alguien dé con la solución "como el burro que tocó la flauta".
Viene de la fábula "El burro flautista (http://www.bibliotecasvirtuales.com/biblioteca/literaturainfantil/fabulas/elburroflautista.asp)", de Tomás de Iriarte.
