What will happen if a black hole and a white hole mixed?

I'm not sure that's even hypothetically possible, since white holes are defined so that they have properties that are the reverse of those of black holes: while mass falling into a black hole would never manager to escape its event horizon, mass falling into a white hole would never manage to reachits event horizon.But the mathematics are complex, and I'm not sure anybody has ever even modelled such a collision...
