What's the dumbest sidequest idea that's ever been in an RPG?

I could never impress all 100 nobles

May the one or two unimpressed nobles be damned to live in hell.

I didnt get this as a kid, but I somehow got both 100 nobles and (to my shock) all of the Hippaul races done on my recent replay.

Jump rope was still impossible; I spent like an hour or two getting to 50 and then gave up.
