There are over 10,000 exercises in Khan Academy. To achieve Proficiency, you must get 100% of the questions correct or get a Familiar skill correct in a quiz, unit test, or course challenge. Achieving Mastery (which is a bigger bonus) doesn't count.

I would think that this badge is possible to earn, but it would take a lot of effort to achieve this difficult task. I also think this badge could be earned multiple times, because Khan Academy constantly updates itself and introduces new exercises, giving you a fresh opportunity to recomplete the task.

What do you think? Is this badge actually possible to earn?

I've looked into this badge; it's what's known as a "custom badge". What that means is that (as far as I can tell) it's manually awarded. (Another example of custom badges are the computer programming contest badges.) Every custom badge that I'm aware of is manually awarded, which makes me think that Herculean can't be obtained (unless a staff member decides to give you the badge).

I've got 10 000+ proficient skills and still didn't get it, apparently max LVL now is around 170, which is equals to 14 000~ skills, so I have 4 000 more to do, and maybe I won't get it anyway
