The Impossible Quiz

... that despite the game's name and difficulty, The Impossible Quiz is actually possible to beat? Source: Engadget, Wired

- Comment: Quite a shame that this article was deleted so many times that it led to the article’s SALTing over a decade ago, even when sources from Engadget and Wired did cover the game back then. Because of that, what was easily one of the most iconic titles in Flash game history is virtually an obscure fossil only remembered by kids old enough to experience Flash games in the late 2000s and early 2010s. I hope this DYK brings a bit of nostalgia for Millennials and Gen Zers. PantheonRadiance (talk) 07:00, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Created by PantheonRadiance (talk). Self-nominated at 07:00, 28 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/The Impossible Quiz; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Meets length and newness eligibility requirements. No major Earwig copyvio issues. Both hook and article correctly and properly sourced. User has 3 previous DYKs per talk page, so no QPQ required for this one. Suggest tighter, and perhaps more pithy, hook:

Sounds like a better hook, thanks for reviewing it! PantheonRadiance (talk) 22:30, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
