I once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

to Lizard Point in Cornwall for the eclipse, and enjoyed the awesome atmosphere created by totality, even though the clouds meant no visible corona. What amazed me most was looking along the coast and seeing hundreds, maybe thousands, of camera flashes firing...

likewise the barrage of flashes you see in the audience at any stadium concert. Every one an act of ignorance. Pretty minor, maybe, but the numbers involved add up to a big pile of ignorance of the range of a flash gun.
