Can anything?

well humans can certainly deal with a lot of halting problems, because humans can make decisions that aren't obviously computational or algorithmic in nature.
Which is actually the relevant question that people seem to have skipped over completely, at least from living organisms it appears fairly likely that intelligence isn't just computational, or at least not simply computational in the way turing machines are.

Could you give an example of a halting problem that humans can solve?

Do you have supporting evidence?
Which doesn't answer the question by the way because Neural Nets suffer the same limitations of Turing Machines, that is to say even a neural net can't solve the halting problem.
The fact that something is a universal function approximator should not be mistaken as equivalent to "isn't limited in functionality".
