Out of my depthAs a schoolkid, I signed up for a public speaking contest purely as a ruse to meet girls. It haunts me still: in front of 300 people, I started to speak, dried up, stood there for what felt like half an hour staring at the floor and then slowly walked back to my seat. Oh, and the girl I liked laughed.
Have you ever been utterly, completely, devastatingly out of your depth?

Bsc Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at Sussex UniversityI think it was the Algorithmics exam - I sat for 45 minutes doing nothing, opened the answer booklet drew a small circle, two dots for eyes and a downturned mouth, then got up and left.
