Work Avoidance Wednesday: The Impossible Quiz

A horrible, freezing cold has gripped the country and I have just the solution to help everybody overcome it. Today’s Work Avoidance Wednesday is guaranteed to warm the body up in one of two ways; the cogs in everyone’s brain will work furiously, and thus heat up the rest of their body, or there’ll be uncontrollable rage… and we all know rage equals spontaneous heat. Trust me, I’m a (fake) scientist!

Have you ever played or heard of The Impossible Quiz? It’s a flash game that made the rounds a few years ago. It popped into my head earlier this week, and for some reason, I really want you all to play it. It’s not because I enjoy watching you all suffer. Promise!

The premise is simple: answer all 110 questions in the quiz correctly to win the game. Know what isn’t simple? Figuring out the bloody answers. Each question and its potential answers come across as nonsensical, made up rubbish. Except they aren’t… 90% of the time. Take question #10 for example:

#2

Now you’re probably thinking, “ew who would want to eat a pen, or an eyeball? None of these are food!” You’re absolutely right. The solution stems from simply saying “choose food”. Say it with me… “chews food”… oh, the answer is obviously the teeth! Many of the questions have solutions only found via the sort of twisted logic demonstrated above.

Then there’s this asshole of a question…

#29

… what? I got it right the first time via a lucky guess. I’m not giving you anything though, figure it out for yourself!

How far can you get in the quiz? My furthest so far is to question 45 (edit: now 53). Can you reach the end? Are you smarter than people give you credit for? Find all these answers and more by clicking right here (or here) and trying it out for yourself (WITHOUT GOOGLING ANY OF THE ANSWERS).

P.S Geoff hates this game so much… so so very much. Is it because he sucks at maths? Who knows!

  1. I’ve seen countless rages because of this game. Playing this at work and you’re the boss would be good though, with all your yelling and swearing they will think they’ll get fired if they just inhale air wrong.

    Haha, I finished that quite a while ago… was not easy by any stretch of the imagination.

    I will not be playing it again though.

        False advertising. You should be sued.

    I’m starting to think Lazygamer is the only site that isn’t blocked at work.
    And News24, but that’s not a site. It’s barely a forum.

      The stuff people types in the comments, especially Spot24. Do they not have mods?

        The News24 comment section is pretty much where the last remaining extremists get together to bash it out because they’re too afraid to say things like that to each other’s faces 😉

    Thank you. I got a retrenchment letter. There is no @#$@#%* way I am going to work now and I’m not even bothering to hide it. This seems distracting enough….

        Fertilizer. Economy is in the crapper, true, but our company has been horribly mismanaged, the guy in charge now has some serious damage control to do.

        And I just realized today marks my 3 year work anniversary at this place. Sheez. Well. Maybe I’ll survive it and keep my job.

            Send my CV out like mad while I try to keep my current job. If I get a better job, yay!, if I can keep this one, ok, if I get retrenched, I’ll survive and think of something…lots of things I can do, but it’s all untested waters. But hey, it might be the next big adventure? I have no idea why I am so optimistic. Someone spike the office water cooler?

            I’d organize you an intern job at Lazygamer, but I don’t hate you

            If it gives me an opportunity to do cosplay and pass it off as my ‘work uniform’ I’m in!
            lol but I’m a bit terrified of Darryn, so he’ll have to stay away from the basement where the interns are kept…
