"Is there a word for when someone does something completely illogical, but in a perfectly logical manner? Because I really could use that word right now" - Marten, QC 707
Just a random thought, but a current one for me is a word for that feeling you get when your realize that every problem given to you as a student is somewhat pointless. The answer is known by someone, and you're just stupid for not getting it.

Not always true; I had one class with the author of a new book, using that book.  Severl of the problems had errors in them - so many that the assignments became "try to do problems such-and-such, and if you can't do some of them, re-work them so that you can." 

It was an interesting semester.

I hope the prof. put you all in the acknowledgements of his second edition.

Asterus:
Dear god, that sounds like a nightmare. No, my problem is knowing exactly what to do... and having absolutely no clue how to actually do it.

Another one occurred to me today. I need a word that encompasses the feeling that even though I have no knowledge of how to do something specific, someone out knows exactly what to do and can do it easily.

Carl-E:
Frustration? 



Or, perhaps, inadequacy?
