This finding showed that students stated four sequences of Arguments which described perplexity of the students during the interview. This perplexity showed several indicators that were students' unfamiliarity in imagination and creation on non-regular questions; incompatibility of problem-solving strategy owned by someone with the new problem-solving coming from; misunderstanding of students due to incompatibility in students' experience, or the existence of a forgetfulness factor; and the failure in generating new ideas and strategies. © 2019 Eskisehir Osmangazi University.
