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?

Getting on the train to go down, we found our seats, and sat down.
Several minutes later, an American couple (I'm not into America-bashing - I find it rather odious - but this couple did happen to be American and it's relevant) asked us ... sincerely ...
