The article deals with geometric construction problems which are unsolvable with the aid of a straightedge and a compass. As an example, the problem of division by a plane into commensurate parts of a solid sphere (the Archimedes problem) and an analogous problem for a circle are considered. The relation of these problems to the theory of algebraically squarable ovals is discussed. The article is based on a lecture given by the author for secondary school teachers in the framework of the ``International Soros Science Educational Program'' and is aimed at presenting contemporary developments in mathematics on an elementary level understandable for secondary school teachers and pupils.
