it's "The poll question can not be answered" because it can be answered, eight of us have already proved it can. Sadly I've voted for something else a long time ago or the poll is already closed, because I'm not able to vote.
Which means you are right, but the question was "Which statement is impossible" ... but then again, the last sentence is also a statement which is possible, so hmmm

I think it’s something like "Ce statement n’est pas une pipe"
The right answer is of course "This statement is impossible". Because impossible things are crazy things. And the statement "This statement is impossible" is a crazy statement. Therefor the statement "This statement is impossible" is the right answer to the question "Which statement is impossible?"

which means, you can never make that statement, because it doesn't make sense.
Would this then be the impossible statement ?
I think I had a pretty rough night when I made this poll ...
The fact of that statement being a "contradictio in terminis" depends on the definition of impossible. If impossible is used in a figurative way, as a feeling, the statement is not a "contradictio in terminis" any more.
