heheh sounds as if it's a miracle I've managed to get 12. GM alchemy does seem to affect the number of attempts, looking at my notes at least two potions I got right on the 6th attempt.
Martyna, I think the mistake you made is in assuming that the 3 you had right were the same three.
I start each run with adding one of each and make a note of how many are right
Then I add 2 of each making a note again. - I then know how many 1s, 2s or 3s are required.
Here's one I got right:
11111 = 2
22222 = 0
11333 = 3
13331 = 1
31313 = 5
