According to thefreedictionary.com it means "to be at a loss, to baffle". It basically means that you don't know the answer to something, you are puzzled or confused...
It's either used as an adjective:
stumped
Tom's stumped. He has no idea what the answer is~!
or as a verb:
to stump someone
I learned a new riddle and hopefully I'm gonna stump the teacher!OK, you stumped me. What's the answer?
You will often hear people use this when they are giving up figuring out a problem on their own and want some help.
Ally: I'm stumped.
Bill: Oh, what's wrong?
Ally: I can't figure out the problem with our new program.
Bill: Let me take a look. Together, I think we can figure it out.
Ally: Thanks Bill.
Have nice night,
Phil
