really, you're f**king kidding me. The question is neither logical, nor practical. This kind of question is created by people who want to sound smart by making other people look stupid. There is no answer, nor will there ever be. Also, you are an idiot. Thank you, and have a nice day.
Actually, they would both do the opposite of what they are intended to do. The knife will not cut the cube and the cube will in turn cut ITSELF. This will give the illusion that the knife is cutting the cube, so you could say that the knife cuts the cube...
Wait, I just ... This thread's the same as the other one? *Checks times* This one was first, eh? By one minute... Tricky basterds.

Which was made first?
The Cube: At it's time of completion it was unbreakable but now that the knife is here it is not and can be cut.
The Knife: It used to be able to cut everything but now that the cube has been made it has discovered something which can not be cut.

A fun philosophical question. If something is unstoppable and encounters the unmobile, what would happen? It's really more of a koan, really: the very purpose of this question is not to come up with an answer, to confound your mind and realize that there's much more to life than clearcut answers.
However, if a clearcut answer is what you desire, insofar as science has been able to determine, either bodies of matter in which its molecules are completely inseparable or a forces that are completely unstoppable are physical impossibilities.

No, for creating a logical paradox the Gods will simply write you out of existence, thus preventing the Cube and the Knife from ever meeting.Uber Polarbear said:

No. The knife may be able to cut through anything but do you really think you're strong enough to make it cut through that?
This is a new and original thought.
There is no correct answer to this question. Why bother asking it?

i beg to differ on "new and original". I've seen this a few times, a while ago.Internet Kraken said:
I was being sarcastic. By this point I bet almost everyone has heard some form of this question.vladtehimpaler said:
