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?

well you clearly stated that the shields cannot be DESTROYED, and so if the blacksmith who makes the swords cuts through one of the "indestructible" shields, it is not necessarily destroyed, but broken. yet being the skilled blacksmith that he is, he can mend his shield, but after being sliced and diced by the sword. therefore i predict the swordsmith will triumph.
