I would explicitly say "The answer is yes for some but not all of these" - ie it's not a trick question where the answer is that they all worked, or none did.

Seconded; I didn't even try guessing because I didn't think that getting a score of correct answers was going to be the point.

I did “just for fun”. (I got two of them right, in six of them I guessed no effect and there was some effect or vice versa, and in none of them I guessed a negative effect and there was a positive effect or vice versa.)
