Better one, in which you can use google to find your answer:
Suppose that real objects acted like subatomic particals (ie: quantinum physics). Now, you have a manufacturing plant, in which you package toys for Mattel. On your input conveyor belt, you have a random assortment of Barbie dolls and Kens. Half the toys, no matter the type, come with a white shirt, while the other half come with a black shirt.
At the first juntion, you have a machine in which will split the inputted dolls into a Ken conveyor belt and a Barbie conveyor belt. At the end of these lines, you package the dolls and ship them out. The stores are happy that the Kens are in the Ken boxes, and the Barbies are in the Barbie boxes, but would like the different Kens and Barbies to be packaged with a label saying if they have a white or a black shirt to make them easier to organize them on the shelves. So, on the Ken line, you add a machine in which it will split the Kens onto a black shirt conveyor belt and a white shirt conveyor belt. You also do the same for the Barbies. So now, you have four different conveyor outputs, in which you package dolls into a Ken-White, Ken-Black, Barbie-White, and Barbie-Black boxes.
When you ship out your boxes to the stores, they soon call back and complain about a packaging mistake. What was the mistake? |

The toys aren't in the boxes. You can't know where they are too precicely, or they fly out of the boxes. Conversly, if they don't fly out of the boxes, you don't know where they are.
I don't think that was the answer you were looking for, but it does work.
NOTE: I didn't use Google or any other reference. I just pulled this from my memory of 8th grade relativity classes. |

No, that wasn't the answer. Its implied that you can contain the dolls within the boxes, as you have been able to do so before. Of course, every so often a couple of boxes will be empty since the doll will tunnel through, but the boxes are pretty much infinite wells for this example. |

In answer to MGB's: Once you measure the gender of the doll, you cannot measure the shirt color without possibly changing the gender. So the boxes show up at the stores with the proper shirt color, but 50% of the Kens are now Barbies (and visa versa). |

Alright. Answer is "Nothing unreal exists". This is said by Spock when the computer is testing him after his katra is restored. The scene is in the beggining of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
Next question:
What is "one seven decimal two eight"? |
