universal

If I have a machine, call it machine 1, that is able to solve a problem: it's just a machine, not persé a Turing machine. It can solve one specific problem. If this exact same problem can be solved on a Universal Turing Machine, then is my original machine, 1, a Universal Turing Machine too?

This does not hold for all problems, which is already ansered. Are there any problems which have this described property at all? If it is absolutely not true, then why?

Can someone give an example of a problem to be solved. If this problem is solved by my original machine, 1, definately makes this a Universal Turning Machine? Or does such a problem not exists? If it doesn't exists, why?

I'm very interested, but can't figure it out... Thanks.

Edit: made the question more clear.

Turing Model Vs Von Neuman model

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
First some background (based on my understanding).. The Von-Neumann architecture describes the stored-program computer where instructions and data are stored in memory and the machine works by changing it's internal state, i.e an instruction operated on some data and modifies the data. So inherently… >>> More
