Mitch, I posted a few spreadsheet text files to physhare a few years
ago.  The formulas are included, so with no more than minor adaptations
they should be adaptable to any spreadsheet.  Racers txt in particular is
a good critical thinking exercise that allows students to examine the way
a spreadsheet works and how it is used in "what if" mode.  To get them,
send a message to listserv@psuvm.psu.edu, no title, with two separate lines:

get racers txt
get trigex text

        Hope this helps.  Let me know what you think of them.  <<Joe>>
