What is 850 x 77.1 ? a calculator will tell you it's 65535, but a critical flaw in Microsoft's Excel 2007 causes it return 100000 as the answer to this, and any other calculation for which the result is 65535.

If I remember correctly 65535 is a maximum for some numeric type - so someone isn't testing a boundary condition in their test cases.

(Wonder if Microsoft has a Q/A job opening - this is the kind of stuff I do!)
