No, I don't want your two cents

Today in ENEE324 Engineering probability, the professor took 10 minutes to carefully set up a situation where a certain equation could be introduced. He was explaining how rolling a biased die 10 times would create a situation where we could calculate the probability that 1 will be rolled 3 times using this equation. After going though this and most people in the class following along, some kid in the second row raises his hand and asks "Can I reiterate just a bit?"

Not "can you please go over it one more time, professor?". No, this kid had the balls to ask if HE, in his great wisdom, could explain to a class of his peers, this complex topic. "Can I reiterate just a bit?"

I think when I first heard him say it, I laughed out loud. I wanted to just raise my hand and say, "No. No you cannot. You aren't being paid to teach the class. Half the people in here know more about this than you. We already understand this and don't want to hear your example."

The professor turned to the kid, who I shall now refer to by the Indian name Thinks He Can Teach (THCT), amd asked him what he didn't understand. Before the professor got done asking however, genius THCT says "It's just like the Wheel of Fortune..."

HOLY SHIT! You raised your hand to stop class to "reiterate" a very complex example that took 10 minutes to explain to add a COMPLETELY off-topic comment that made no sense AT ALL? That takes balls, kid. You wasted everyone's time with that?

"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

If the professor wanted to use The Wheel as an example, he would have. Instead, he's now going to have to spend another 10 minutes un-confusing the kid in the first row who thinks he knows what's going on, but has no idea. Next time, don't share with us. Don't "reiterate" anything. We understand just fine. Maybe you should start watching weeknight ABC at 7:30 instead of 7...
