Well, i've created threads on this forum for the previous Impossible Quizzes, so I thought I might as well carry on this trend by posting the latest one!

The Impossible Quiz Book! (http://www.e4.com/game/impossible-quiz-book/review.e4)

Have fun! (Or try to) :p

Stuck on #45 myself. I really hate timed parts!
How many questions are there anyway?

stuck on #8
Yeah, so you know, the keyboard is also used occasionally.

15 Aug 2009, 19:12
Just in case you saw my post before I deleted it Plasma, ignore it: wrong level.
45 includes another play on words.

btw, 47 (or whatever the tesla one is) is almost impossible without a fusestopper...
I cant even get the first crackle till ages after the bomb goes off

Oh, and Plasma, there are 50.

The answer is a key on your key board.
What's in the animation that plays? What are you looking at?

Why the second hint? Once you say its a keyboard key, they just have to push every button to get it!

I completed it, with the skip, but had to use the fusestopper on the tesla question... that question takes me about a minute (unless there's a shortcut somewhere).

I love how you keep the Pigbuster in-jokes in there even though your quizzes have become so big.

I can now reach the maths question after the cat. Stuck though.

Shirdel
16 Aug 2009, 10:02
Finished it. Only needed help on 2 Questions. I'm above standard. :)
And where the hell's the skip? I think it has something to do with the 7 in the dot-to-dot question...

Are you capable of calculating 21/10????

2.1? I can drag the full stop between any 2 and 1 and nothing special happens, the button still kills ya.

Look at the question number...

franpa
16 Aug 2009, 17:47
Ok, figured out how to get the "Skip" and the "Fuse Stopper" is pretty obvious. I'm up to the voodoo doll now.

16 Aug 2009, 22:57
I fail at the "Deliver" one. :(

EDIT: Ooh, go it.

EDIT2: ...the hell? Question 32?

EDIT3: Got it, now I'm fine for now, but I still don't ge the random letters one what so ever (the one a bit before the Tesla one, I believe) so I just guess.

MVEMwhatever is difficult to guess, though maybe the fact that i only know the first 4 will be a clue :P

SupSuper
17 Aug 2009, 03:04
Stuck at the tesla one too, I don't have any fusestoppers either. :(

Also the fact that the letter pattern question changes every time is a real dick move. :p

franpa
17 Aug 2009, 10:04
I'm up to #49 now and it makes just as much sense as #47 (none! I used skip on #47), so I'm stuck!

edit: beaten all questions, still no clue about tesla.

Oft99
17 Aug 2009, 12:58
I found the fusestopper (Which allows me to get past the Tesla question) but I haven't found the skip go yet.

For those wondering, I do the Tesla one by running the mouse-cursor up the small lightning rod with the dogs on it while holding down the left mouse button, then letting go of the left mouse button and doing it again, over and over. Using this method, however, is impossible without a fusestopper.

Melon
17 Aug 2009, 13:59
Man, all you guys at that tesla "question". Using my tablet, all I have to do is flick my wrist to move the mouse up and down it, so I can do it with 6 seconds still left on the bomb *boast boast*

Splapp
17 Aug 2009, 15:59
For god's sake people, all you have to do on the tesla one is run the mouse up and down the rod from top to bottom in a straight line a load of times :p Simples!

Beat it yesterday, had to use a fusestopper on 47. Couldn't find the skip.

49's still a pain in the **** to get right, though.

Got to 27 and died, will probably try again later. Hmm maybe I could use my fusestopper to stop the bomb so I can figure it out without worrying....


Only 3 gameovers though, not bad compared to how I did in the other impossible quizzes :)

Muzer
19 Sep 2009, 14:42
Should I be scared if I get most of the questions first time?


Though I haven't had chance to play very far yet...




Anyway, the only one so far that I don't get is the assassins one. I know what the answer is, but why?

Click eastwards, which is to the right. Don't click the E on the compass.

Question 59 has got me stumped. Also sometimes the life preserver is unavailable, not sure why.

Akuryou13
11 Sep 2010, 06:09
splapp, can you explain to me what on earth the "residential" pun is?

also? seriously? pac frank is hard enough WITHOUT the ghosts being faster than you are. that's ridiculous. I keep wasting all my lives on a random game that I SHOULD be throwing away getting questions wrong.....

edit: yep. screw pac frank. I'm not slamming my head up against a wall I've already broken down once. if the ghosts acted in any reasonable way or just plain weren't faster than you are even when they DO act predictably, perhaps, but as it is? it's not worth going through 20 questions over and over just to not make it to anything new.

Paul.Power
11 Sep 2010, 07:47
Awesome. Although yep, stuck on 59 as well.

e: oh wait never mind. However, now it turns out I suck at Pong :p.

e: well, beat the pong, and now uh... I don't get the deal with the cassette player.

e: oh right yeah, we were *told* how to load a ZX Splapptrum. Now I'm stuck on the red ring question :p. I imagine it has something to do with the question number, but I've tried clicking and dragging it to no avail.

Saying that, it's worth losing for the game over music :p

e: looked up 63, now stuck on 69 (lol 69 indeed). I'm getting a magenta circle when I click the 69, which seems kinda hinty, but that's it... and none of the four "normal" answers works.

e: oh glod pac-frank

e: Well I beat Pac-Frank once (and then got screwed on the Duck Hunt minigame). Dunno if I'll be able to beat it again :p
splapp, can you explain to me what on earth the "residential" pun is?
SimCity. In an ideal city, Residental = Commercial + Industrial

By the "flan one" do you mean the "extra guy question?" Think old school plumbing.

Also, anyone else find the pong one, INCREDIBLY easy?

Also, anyone else find the pong one, INCREDIBLY easy?I actually lost that twice. I felt ashamed!

though one time the AI glitched and caught the one that it usually misses by a hair. It proceeded to get every single one perfect from then on and the ball started to go extremely fast and I lost then.

When I click what appears to be the only right answer in the question, there is loads of FLAN words on screen, what do you do on that bit?

Roboslob
15 Sep 2010, 06:23
Old games showed you how many lives by a little picture of the character and then (mostly) X, and the number of lives. lf you played alot of old games, you may have just said, ''l have another guy'' after dying, since each game has a different character, but most people probably say ''life.''

Or its just a Futurama reference.

Well you all said to try an old skool term for an extra man which to me means something other then 1up so I tried as many terms I could think of and stumbled upon it by accident with the wrong term being accepted.

1up is as modern as it was many many years ago and still is today, since it is still used.

Any and every modern Mario game. Which basically makes up about half the modern games that use ANY term for an extra life.

Yes, but just because something is still in use today, doesn't mean its not retro. lts a retro term, because its from very early in videogaming.

lol, I guess they DO still use it for mario, don't they. well either way, one series is hardly enough to excuse this.If Google is any guess, Mario has pretty much become the definition of 1UP. :p

Ironically, the first time I got that question I kept trying to press 1 instead of Up.
