Microsoft Excel
In the last 15 minutes I have worked out the algorithm used for the IRB's World Rugby Rankings, and designed a complex spreadsheet showing all the potential outcomes of England v South Africa, Ireland v Argentina and England v New Zealand, to determine whether or not we will be in the top four seeds when the World Cup draw is made on 1 December.

The real work I meant to do when I opened up Excel isn't as complex or challenging, but I still haven't started it.

Writting a good Excel formula is very satifying

In a way they are for very lazy people

I spent ages on a hugely complicated set of formulas so that NOW I can do fuck all and still deliver the information asked of me

And that's how I got my physics Higher A in school
PDAs running "Calc" ("Look mrs clueless adjudicator, it say's calculator, it's a calculator!") plus a copy of Pocket Excel for the exam-winningness.

Shame it couldn't do the same for History or my AC motors stuff at uni...
