My teacher asked “What is one hundred times one hundred?” I raised my hand and said “Ten thousand!” “No, it’s one thousand. Ten times ten is one hundred, and one hundred times one hundred is one thousand.” “But… It’s ten thousand. Can I show you on a calculator?” “No! Sit down, it’s one thousand. I’m the teacher, I should know.” I later got a calculator and showed her and she didn’t apologise.
