Even discounting all of the logic involved in this instance, people do occasionally just get lucky.
When I was in the fifth grade, we were playing hangman in class and my friend Chingfei managed to discern "White Men Can't Jump" from only two or three letters. An impressive feat, proven by the fact that I remember this 14 years later.
A "miracle" is really something with an extremely minuscule chance of occurring, but with enough trials you'll eventually get a positive result. Even the Biblical "water into wine" could happen under the laws of quantum mechanics, but it's an insanely long shot.
Still, in this case it was logic, not luck, that played out, since no rational person would just guess at solving the puzzle so early in the game.
