I’ve been bored in iso. Not surprising at all, considering I’m in a Melbourne hot-spot right now. But, I’ve just rediscovered The Impossible Quiz, and now I’m entertained in iso, but SO. DANG. FRUSTRATED.
Remember that mindfuckery of a game called The Impossible Quiz that dominated our free time in computer class around the mid-2000s, when my school in the middle of absolutely nowhere was still using dialup internet? Well, it still exists, and I still can’t beat it.
I mean, sure I could sit here and look up the rules, but that would ruin all the fun I’m now having in isolation. But, if we’re being honest, I’m probably going to look them up at some rate, because fuck this game and me not being able to beat it.
So, for starters, you only get three, yep I said three lives throughout the entire game, and they’re so easy to lose. And, there’s only a few savvy ways you can actually gain any back.
Then, the questions make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Like, take for instance question number one: “How many holes in a polo?” Well, what’s it talking about? A polo mint? A polo shirt? The holes in the letter “o” within the word “polo,” itself? Well, you’ve got three lives to lose prior to guessing the correct answer.
Following the first few questions, it starts to get even whackier, and downright impossible – hence why they call it The Impossible Quiz.
You’ll have to charge up a laser with your incredibly fast clicking speeds, perform impossible feats like recalling information from over 20 questions ago, and then you’ll have to beat every single level to win.

How many levels? Well, I have no clue. I’ve never gotten past question 35 without ruining all of my lives. Maybe isolation will finally give me the chance to beat this dang game, and settle the frustrations that began for me back in 2007.
Keen to get as frustrated as I am? The quiz can be found here.
