"Ok, we're definitively in hell" - C Bel, 2018. This is amazing, computation in Excel is becoming a solid meme.

I've got to ask (and I hope this isn't non-PC or some such), but is English the author's first language? Where's he from?

I wish that I had Excel so that I could try it out! :) More about the choice of random digits, sin x + cos x, would be nice to read.

Probably French. The free.fr email/www addresses and the French typography of having spaces before punctuation other than plain commas and full-stops (like this ..., or this :, or even this ?) give it away. :)

Somebody said that a decade ago and the responses provided invaluable pointers into regions of PL-theory I would not have consider explored this well... Happy reading ;)

the author's email is yahoo.fr, so possibly french

I love Excel, and to show how it really is "better" notice nobody does these things in the FOSS spreadsheet wannabees...

I'm not going to argue that one spreadsheet solution is "better" than another as that is really a question of personal preference. However it should be noted that people do actually do these sorts of demos in other programs as well. And not just FOSS solutions but ive seen people do fanciful stuff in Google Docs too.
