Could a solid body have arbitrarily low entropy but arbitrarily high temperature?

Why can't many models be solved exactly?

Why does minimization of free energy result into an almost uniform distribution of protein foldings?

Why are probabilities for each micro-state equal within a micro-canonical-ensemble?
