'sunday goes by cryptic is ultimately unsolvable' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'sunday goes by cryptic is ultimately' is the wordplay.
'cryptic' indicates an anagram (a cryptic or obscure order of the letters).
'ultimately' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'is' is 's'.
'sunday'+'goes'+'by'='sundaygoesby'
'sundaygoesby' with letters rearranged gives 'anybodysgues'.
'anybodysgues'+'s'='ANYBODYS GUESS'
