Impossible Quiz Is No Good For Faint Hearted!!!

Try your luck with the Impossible Quiz - it's impossible!

The creators of this game claim that, despite its title, this really is not an impossible quiz. But, having tried this game again and again, I beg to differ. It really IS impossible. Having said that, I should give you a bit of a background on me. I have never had any general knowledge. In fact, my husband of 3 years is always amazed and fascinated at just how little I know, about practically everything! He's like, how can it be, that a relatively intelligent woman like yourself, has gotten to this stage in her life, with knowing so little? I put it down to the fact that most things bore me. Which is why I always go for computer games as they are fast and furious and fun. And that was why I wanted to try the Impossible Quiz, even though I am not really equipped to answer any questions other than a few on Winnie the Pooh, my old time favorite bear.

Impossible Quiz Not Fair

What I found most unfair about the impossible quiz is that you get a question with 4 potential answers. If you hit on one and it is wrong, you lose a life (bear in mind you only have 3 lives for the whole game so you have to be pretty careful with getting a question wrong). But then it makes you try again. You cannot just move on to the next question! So if you get it wrong again, another life is lost! That is what happened to me on the first question of "how many holes does a polo have?" Well I just had no idea and got it wrong 3 times (there are only 4 potential answers) so the game was over immediately!

Impossible Quiz Gets Harder Too

Apparently if you do well (well, at least, better than me which isn't saying much) then you can get a skip treat. What this means is that by answering a lot of questions correctly you get to use a skip for almost any question you want whereby you can choose to skip a question. But there is also the bomb question which gives you only between 1-10 seconds to answer a question and if you fail to do that, the game is over! Yes, this quiz is impossible? and the questions are just too crazy for even the person with the most general knowledge to be able to fathom!

Nudge? I Don't Think So!!!

I'm Nudging Myself Out of My Mind!!!

I really like games that require a bit of hand eye coordination so I thought I'd be great at Nudge. In this game you get a portal and a ball and you have to fit the ball (which moves around like CRAZY by the way) in to the ball. But, like I said, it moves so completely crazily that getting it under control is nigh on impossible! So no matter how many different mouse moves I tried, I kept failing!!! Well, at least that was what happened when I first started playing the game. But I was determined to persevere. So I did. I kept playing and playing and playing and eventually I seemed to work out what I was supposed to do and I actually moved up to the next level?one time anyway! But those initial games can be so frustrating, but, at the same time, they sure do make you want to come back for more.

Yellow Bar Didn't Help Me

So there's also a yellow bar at the top of the screen. This is supposed to be helpful. It tells you how much time you have left to get to the next portal, your health (and thus each life) and it is meant to be helpful and encouraging. I just found it put more pressure on me!! The worse I was doing, the more reminded of it I felt! But still, I guess that is what makes the game more exhilarating for a lot of people. Each level does get harder so I am led to believe, but I have only once gotten to level 2!! I guess I will just have to keep on trying?
