A simple but brilliant idea. Looks easy, but is actually fiendishly complicated to do by trial and error and requires students to think through a strategy.

Update - Macro Guide added. A single page guide to turning on Macros in Excel. Essentially it involves setting the Macro security to Medium (or Low) and then re-starting Excel.
