      Quirky Queries: Oddballs and Stumpers

      Welcome to the most head-scratching section of our Impossible Sports Trivia Quiz, where we dive headfirst into a world of sports data oddities that will leave even the most seasoned fans stumped.

      Obscure Facts and Bizarre Statistics

      Did you know that in the realm of American football, a touchdown might be worth six points, but it's the quirky facts that score big with us? For instance, the NFL football is made of cowhide, not pigskin, despite the popular moniker. Meanwhile, in baseball, there's a record for the longest recorded game in the professional league: a staggering 33 innings, way beyond the regular season's nine!

      Geek-Out Moments

      Let's geek out on weird records! For you fastest-facts aficionados, the fastest goal in soccer history was scored in just 2.8 seconds. Take that for lightning speed! And fans of cricket, did you chuckle when the bowler got hit for a six on the first ball of the match? Because those are the bizarre moments we live for.

      The 'Wait, What?' Collection

      Prepare yourself for the 'Wait, What?' Collection, the crème de la crème of our quirky queries. We're not making this up – during a volleyball game in 1975, a maverick play led to the longest recorded point lasting a mind-boggling 20 minutes! And talk about acing a Grand Slam, Nadia Comaneci was the first gymnast to score a perfect 10 at the Olympic Games, though we'll bet even she didn't know that Canada's national sport is lacrosse, not hockey. Surprise!
