Why 2474?

In Why 2474? the video "explaining" why his numbers are 2474, he explained that "You start with a one, then you duplicate the one (so there are two ones) then you put one of the ones away and double the other one to make a 2, then you duplicate the two (so there are two 2's.) next you take one of the 2's, square it to get 4, then you wanna triplicate the 4 (so you got 3 fours), then double one of the 4's to get 8, and then subtract the one from the beginning to get 7, then you arrange the numbers and then you have 2474."

The Impossible Quiz Story

On June 18, 2022, Tamago2474 uploaded a video called "The Possible Quiz" where he played the impossible quiz on stream. His computer had a glitch on question 106 that made the quiz truly impossible, but ended up beating the game.

On August 2, he uploaded a video called "Nailed It" talking about how in "The Possible Quiz" when just barely beating the question where he had to cut toenails, he used the phrase "cut it close". The viewers argued that he should've used the phrase "Nailed It" instead, despite Tamago claiming that both phrases work equally well.

On September 17, 2023, he uploaded "The Possible Quiz 2" where he tried to beat The Impossible Quiz 2. A process that made him lose a bet^{[citation needed]}. When notifying that he would do it, Splapp me do (the creator of the game) wished Tamago help. He ended up entering the stream chat near the second half of the video. Simi and Splapp teamed up and designed a shirt.

He was unable to beat question 67 without a skip, and talked about a twitter account named "Question 67" in the video. The creator of said account made an apology Tamago's stream of The Impossible Quiz Book, Chapter 2.
