No. It's a solid wall and cannot be penetrated. Because if it were penetrated then parts of the wall would have to move away to make room for it to get through, and then the immovable wall would move.

Ah, but even the most solid of items has holes in it... since everything is made up of matter, and matter is made up of molecules, which are made up of atoms... individual atoms. Those atoms DO NOT TOUCH each other...

O.K. Let me put it this way:

The wall is immovable. The object is unstoppable. The object is too large to pass through the wall and will not be changing sizes at all. It cannot change direction. What happens when they meet?

The unstoppable object stops and the immovable wall moves ... well that's what happens in Walking On Glass by Ian Banks

No. That's not what happens here.

Does anybody just want me to give the answer... or are your puzzler's still puzzling?

1) because the stairs are outside and he doesnt want to get his nice work clothes all wet then look sloppy to the boss and get fired and have to go on unemployment with hundreds of other americans. what kinda stupid architect would put the steps outside? and on sunny days he feels like walking. not cause he likes it but because his wife makes him cause she thinks he's too fat.

2) i told you! she kills off one of the kids then hides the body because anyone with 11 kids is bound to forget to count them all the time then by the time the parents realize the kid is gone she's skipped the border and living happily in mexico where the U.s. cant get her.all thanks to a stupid box of 11 cookies. why couldnt she just get an even dozen?

3) the world comes crashing down around them, everyone dies and no one ever finds out what exactly did happen.

man, i suck at these thingys. wait, can i say that here? oh well. let me guess, 0 of 3??? hahahaha! i rock!!!

O.K. I will give the answers.

1) The Guy's a dwarf. He can only hit the buttons up to floor 40 but, when it rains, uses his umbrella to hit the top button. Kind of makes you wonder why nobody wanted to help the guy out.

2) The babysitter gives out all of the cookies except the one in the box. Then she gives the box to the last kid who eats the cookie.

3) Nothing. It is physically impossable to have both an object that can't be moved and an object that can't be stopped. If the force exerted by the unstopable object is equal or less then that of the immovable object the first object will stop. If greater then the immovable object will move. You cannot, according to the laws of physics, have both.
