It probably is "¿A que no puedes?", with no accent on "que". It means something like "I bet you can't...", challenging you to do something. With "qué" the meaning is a too strange: "To what can't you?"

Thanks for your input. I found the same construction as a dictionary example - you're right. - gerry118, Apr 14, 2011

A que no puedes/sabes/has ido/has hecho/et al. (I'll bet you can't/don't know/haven't been to/haven't done/et al. is a very useful construction Well worth learning!
