The Impossible Quiz Demo is a flash demo of the full game The Impossible Quiz. The game contains 30 unconventional questions, most of which with 4 answers, in contrast to the full game's 110 questions. Despite the entire game being only mouse clicking, this TAS does not beat the current RTA world record by a significant amount. This is because the game runs natively at a measly 12 frames per second with most high level speedruns running the game at 60 or 144 frames per second. Despite this, this TAS manages to beat the game in just 6.083 seconds, or 73 frames.
The goal is to complete all questions as fast as possible. The main strategy used by this TAS to do so is the moving of the mouse to the position of the correct answer before the next question even appears. This allows most questions to be completed in just 2 frames.
This TAS was created in LibTAS v1.4.4 in combination with the May 3rd 2022 nightly release of Ruffle. All LibTAS settings are default. The Vulkan backend was used for this TAS as other backends created errors with this version of Ruffle. There is, to my knowledge, only one release of this game which was obtained through BlueMaxima's flashpoint.

feos: Claiming for judging.
Use the correct version of a game
Early access games and episodic games are allowed for submission. A TAS of an early access game will be obsoleted by a TAS of its official release.
Since the full release can't be TASed currently, it makes perfect sense to accept the Demo version for now, and obsolete it with a full one when it's made.
RTA using higher framerate is understandable because it makes the game poll input more frequently, giving more room for a human. But this is not accurate because Adobe Flash Player doesn't expose framerate controls, and it might give unintended speed advantages to a TAS. So in a TAS allowing arbitrary framerate is not justified, at least not in an official publication.
Execution seems as accurate as it gets, accepting.
Clearing the branch too, since the movie doesn't seem to do any bonus stuff a Fastestcompletion run would avoid.

I have to ask, why not the full version of the game?

Ruffle isn't compatible with Impossible Quiz, at least not yet.
This is because the game runs natively at a measly 12 frames per second with most high level speedruns running the game at 60 or 144 frames per second.
12fps, is 12fps. Runs that are done at "60" or "144" is irrelevant, as the game is still 12fps. Voting Meh it's a good Playground movie as it's not the full game, but it's also not the full game.

IF Quiz 81 is fixed, I'll say it's compatible. But now, nobody confirmed is this fixed or not. Edit: Nevermind the quiz 102 bug still exist.

Just tested the June build, the bugs mentioned in that github issue are still present. A TAS probably won't give enough time for the auto-skip to kick in but still better to wait for a bug free build.

I'd need more info on this. One of the problematic levels is not beatable even in a TAS?
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

There is a bug that seems to automatically skip the questions and proceed to the next one in about 5-10 seconds. Regarding the problamatic levels, I have no idea but the last time I tested it, it was still impossible.
