IgnoranceI 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?

Shift workI used to frequent a certain nonstop bar when I first moved to Prague. As is customary with these places, there are two shifts, from 9am to 9pm and 9pm to 9am the following day.
One new barman, whose name in English would be George, was a nice guy but a little lacking in the brains department. He asked one of the girls who worked there which shift was the shorter of the two. Assuming he was joking she told George that the night shift was shorter (I forget what explanation she gave) and so he always asked to work nights when he got the choice.
He disappeared a few months after that and hasn't been seen since. As I say he was a nice guy, just not very bright, so I hope he's OK.
