There's this town with two blacksmiths - one, a swordsmaker and the other, a shield maker. The swordsmaker's swords can slice through anything as a rule and the other guy's shields cannot be destroyed. Now they get cut up with each other for some reason and pit their wares against each other. What do you expect happens?

(In reply to Puff of logic by Ender)

Yes... They both can't exist... I always put things in a row and assume the first thing said is true. For example:

All A are blue
Some A are Z
All Z are not blue

This is a contradiction, so assume the first statements are right.

All A are blue... No problem yet
Some A are Z... Still no problem
All Z are not blue... This poses a problem, so exclude the previous statements... (So assume "All Z are not blue, unless it's an A)

Using this process (which I just happen to use, not anything important) I would say the swordsmaker would win. :)
