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?

not so much ignorance, as a blipTim, double first at oxford in biology (under Richard Dawkins, no less) and bound for a PhD at Harvard under Stephen J Gould, happened to be carrying an old filing cabinet around with me one day. On putting it down, he noticed the sharp edges had cut his fingers somewhat, and, holding them up to me with a look of bewilderment adorning his freckled face, asked me, in all seriousness
"Jo, is this MY blood?"

My Geography TeacherCame into the class totally furious. He had been marking some mock A level papers and he totally could not believe what some of these kids who were one day (hopefully) going to university had written in some of their answers. e.g. "Kent is located at the bottom right hand corner of England"
