Mina-san, try sharing some 無理難題 you have encountered, and also 百泊百中 experiences!
Tuesday at 2:24 am
I loved these yojijukugo “hyappatsuhyakuchuu” and “murinandai”. I think Peter you are right when you said that to learn Japanese language one must learn these yojijukugo inorder to hyappatsuhyakuchuusuru the nihongo. I also think that it is not a murinandai.

毎日毎日ものすごい日本語のレッスンを発表するのは無理難のようですけど、やっぱりJapanesepod101はいつも百発百中ですよ!
Tuesday at 10:27 am
何時も試験に100%を取るのは無理難題ですが、自分の実力で頑張るしかない。
Tuesday at 10:29 am
Can 百発百中 be used in a negative way as well?
Let’s say I want about a clumsy friend of mine and express something like
“He always draws the short straw when his boss assigns the weekly tasks.”,
“She always gets to sit behind the tall guy with the high hair when we go to the movies.”,
“Somehow he always manages to scare off the women willing to date him.”.
hmm.. それは無理難題だかな (??)

SOMNATH san>Wow your comment was so smooth and nicely phrased
プチクレア san> このコメントも、四字熟語の使い方がとても上手ですね
Eric san> Ericさんが勉強すれば、次のテストはきっと百発百中ですね
4×4 san>Interesting concept.But yes, you can use 百発百中 in a negative sentence:
彼女は百発百中の割合で映画館では髪が長くて背の高い男性の後ろの席に座る。 etc.

Allen san>More fun lessons to come
neil.m4 san> 百発百中させてください!
Friday at 12:08 am
WHY is the hyappatsu ひゃっぱつ
pronounced as “hyaku” ?
i noticed couple of other idioms have this
Friday at 9:58 am
Raymasaki san> When 百(ひゃく-hyaku) is used with other words such as 発(はつ-hatsu) you omit く. Other examples:
百(hyaku) hundred 回(kai)times — 百回(ひゃっかい-hyakkai)
百(hyaku) hundred キロ(kiro)kilogram/kilometer — 百キロ(ひゃっきろ-hyakkiro)

I wonder how many times I’ve misheard 無理難題as 無理なんだ(よ)or something like that!? Very interesting lesson.
Wednesday at 9:55 am
タネさん、
Now you can hear it correctly!! But, even if you misheard it as 無理なんだ(よ), it might make sense in some context.
Omoshiroi!!
