Here are some serious mathematical paradoxes; they do not have solutions (by definition) since their definitions are self-referential.
Berry Paradox: "The smallest positive integer not definable in under eleven words."
(Proof why it is a paradox: suppose there was a smallest positive integer (n) not definable in under eleven words. Then the next candidate (probably n+1, but maybe not) would be "the smallest positive integer not definable in under eleven words"; thereby contradicting its own definition.
So this would imply that all integers are definable in under eleven words, i.e. an infinite set. However clearly the set of all integers definable in under eleven words is finite => paradox without a solution)
The smallest uninteresting integer paradox: "The smallest integer which is not interesting" (assuming we can agree a reasonable definition of properties that make an integer "interesting" or "uninteresting", which is doable)
This conclusion contradicts the intuitive notion that the natural numbers are apparently too numerous for all of them to be subjectively interesting.

Does the soul of a person (saying of course we all believe in souls and that we have one) have a mind of its own? Meaning as in being separated from our physical mind.
