Question

Is it possible to answer a question about an impossible task? Why?

Answer 1

An answer doesn't have to be the right answer, it just needs to be a relevant response. For example.  "Why didn't you eat the White House while you were in Washington?" Answer:  "I wasn't hungry."

Answer 2

Yes.

For example, piling up textbooks until they reach the moon is an impossible task, but I'm answering your question.  If you asked how many textbooks of 3 inch thickness it would take to reach the moon, someone could answer how to calculate it (divide the distance to the moon by 3).  An impossible task can be talked about in theory, it just can't be done in real life.

Answer 3

the answer would be "It's impossible".

Answer 4

RFN1 pretty much sums it up, I think...

/Sometimes paradoxes . . . aren't.
