Word for something that is either very easy or impossible

If projects, people or problems are polarized so that they are either very easy or impossible, is there an appropriate word to describe the polarization towards the two extremes?

For example, if I succeed it will never be difficult but very easy and still I don’t often succeed and it’s unrelated to how much effort I make.

More precise, I’m practicing solving problems and I either answer correctly with almost no effort or it is impossible when it is not easy.

Similarly, there are projects, people, relations and arrangements that are either easy or impossible and even you try very hard and work very hard it is still impossible if it is not very easy.

The best word I can think of is “polarization” but it is not a common word to use about what I typically mean here.

Answer

The entities in question are extremities (in the context of level of difficulty).

The problems I tried out today were extremities in terms of difficulty
– either I could solve them very easily or not at all.

ODO:

extremity
NOUN

1 The furthest point or limit of something:

‘Fundamentally, there is little to choose between the extremities of
right and left in politics.’
