nonsolvable
Beyond any solution
Nonsolvable means incapable of being solved.
The term appears in mathematics, where a nonsolvable equation or problem has no solution within a given system, and in everyday contexts for intractable situations: Some conflicts are simply nonsolvable.
Unsolvable is more common in general usage.
