Have you ever solved a mystery?

I certainly have.

Philosophy often involve mysteries which is half the fun.

I believe I have.

Quantum entanglement (aka. "nonlocality").

It has not been verified by any peers, though, so it hardly counts as a genuine solution.

Yes, I had: any changes is caused by a mind. To elaborate consider a system which undergo a change, S->S'. S and S' cannot coexist therefore there is a point at which non of them exist. This means that there is nothing at the intermediate point which is problematic unless there is a mind which is aware of S and it creates S'.

"...S->S'. S and S' cannot coexist..."

This is very general and vague, can you give one example?

So one might take it that you have never walked and chewed gum?

We are talking about the case when two state of affairs, all things that you experience at the same moment for example being a state of affair, cannot exist in the same place and at the same moment. Two state of affairs can only exist in the same place but different moments. It is alright if two things exist in two different places at the same moment, what you are referring to.
