Look up the definition of cross-country flight. It must satisfy several
requirements, such as:
- the flight must include a landing at a point farther than 50NM from
the
original point of departure
- the flight must include a landing at a point other than the point of
departure
- the flight must involve navigation (dead reckoning, pilotage,
electronic
etc..)

Is it even possible to satisfy 1 & 2 but not 3?

Of course it is. You simply fly in some random direction, perhaps
blindfolded, until you find a place to land.

The regulation is a little like the IFR currency rules, which require you to
not only fly approaches and holding patterns, but also intercepting and
tracking radio aids or courses. It is very difficult to fly approaches or
holding patterns without also intercepting and tracking courses, but they
put it in the regulations anyway.
