Well, for a philosophical problem that I have never seen solved I would have to say: What is truth? I have never seen this appropiately answered. I have seen definitions and conversations but no answer that is satisfying. And yes I realize asking this puts me in the blender.

Thanks for not bashing me, and you know a Belgarath Smoothie actually sounds good haha. Just for another addition to the list, and I do not have any clue if this was answered, but: What is Justice? I am currently reading The Republic and I have not seen an answer but I must say the book is brilliant.

I think the book is kind of overrated, some of Plato's/Socrates' ideas are kind of unreasonable. Kallipolis would be a dysfunctional place. I wish he wrote more about Justice being a good in itself rather than spend 3 books about what songs should be able to be played.
