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?

Many moons agoI was sent by the jobcentre to one of those restart courses. It was a lot less painful than I had expected and had a few brilliant characters there. One of these, a man called Archie, was a friend of my Dad's, and he, well, he wasn't the sharpest tool in the box.
After two weeks of learning interview techniques and reading employment papers, we were given a form to fill in to show how satisfied we were with the course. It was one of those multiple choice, tick-the-box affairs. The first question was
"1: Are you leaving the course..... more confident.... about the same.... less confident."
After the word course, in the small space before the answers, Archie had written "yes".
