What would happen if an unstoppable force met an indestructible wall?
Force Transference.
Wrong, if the force is unstoppable then it cannot lose any of its energy when passing through the wall or it is in fact stoppable just very hard to stop.

Your trapped in a room with Justin Beiber, Miley Cirus, both are having a karaoke contest, and you have only one bullet in your revolver. What to do?
Shoot myself.

Ill get there eventually................
I would argue that the question "What is the precise value of pi as a decimal?" is not an unanswerable question, simply a question that requires an infinite amount of time to answer.

Ah I have a good one.
Walk from one side of your room to the other. You would agree that in order to get across your room you first have to walk half that distance. However, in order to get to half that distance you would first have to walk a quarter of the distance of your room. But to get to that quarter you would have to walk an eighth. And to walk that eighth you would first have to walk a sixteenth. The point is that to travel a distance you have to first move half that distance, and half of the half, and half of that half, ect. Since there are an infinite amount of fractions because there is an infinite amount of numbers. This means that there is an infinite amount of halves you must travel to get to the other side of your room!
Tell me. How is it that you are able to walk across your room if you have to travel an infinite amount of halfway points? Don't just say by moving one leg because this applies to all movement of anything.

PS I didn't come up with this. Some philosopher who's name I can't remember did. Our logic teacher gave us this rant in class the other day and no one could come up with an answer. That is because it's a paradox.
(sum(n=1 to infinity) 1/2[sup]n[/sup]) = 1

There's no problem, just a lack of Maths.
I wonder why Zeno didn't figure this out. Ya I searched the problem online and found out the guys name. You are right. Have you heard that one before or did you come up with the answer on your own?

If we define infinite as an innumerate amount of time then it can never be solved as the length of time can never be expresses in a meaningful way outside of the lemniscate.
But infinity is not necessarily innumerate.
Take Set Theory or the Reimann Sphere.

Although, that's beside the point.
The point is the question can be in the process of being answered, it's just it would take forever for the process to finish. The question has an answer and there is a process to find the answer, the only problem is that no-one can be around to know it.

Just because the Judge is has the final call doesnt mean the judge is right. Plenty of innocent people were hung for murder because I judge/jury "thought" they were right.
I was being facetious as I'd already answered the spirit of the question.

Ill leave that there tbh :p We could argue the semantics of infinite all night. But I'm pretty sure we can just work out for ourselves how it would go :p

I'd had heard it before, but I answered it myself back then.
And Zeno didn't know the answer because no-one had invented geometric series back then.

There is even another answer to the question, as physicists are now thinking that distance might actually be discrete, not continuous as has been assumed. If that's true then there would simply come a point when you couldn't halve the distance any further.

Much like the attempt to write out the entirety of pi?

Keep counting till he hits his 18th birthday and you will know.

P.s I would rape Bieber so hard his balls would drop and shoot Cirus just to see it in tomorrows headlines...then i would claim i am a catholic priest and swear that Miley was a witch and needed to be purged. And Bieber? Ow come on, you know that never happend.

I have one that shouldn't be impossible but it seems to be. Did Black Sabbath ever play Sabbath Bloody Sabbath live in the 70's?
