  • Excel help with lists?

    I've created an equipment list in excel.

    I've set it so when selecting a boat for a person you have to pick it from a drop down list, or select the value "own" if they already own a personal boat.

    I have the range of boats listed on the right and it's from this range that the drop down lists are created,

    I want to either set it in one of the following was. whichever is easier.

    A) The text in the range turns red when the value is selected. eg. if the boat called a habitat is selected then it's colour will turn red in the list.

    OR

    B) The boats can only be selected once. i.e. one per person. (however multiple people can select "own" as many own a boat themselves.

    Thanks very much for any help.

  • I want to buy a Longboard (Skate).?

    I'm looking for an online retailer in the UK.

    I need one that ships to Ireland and that will accept a payment from a Maestro card.

    I've browsed on Google and the best one I found was Kate's Skate Shop (I think). Can anyone recommend this or any better?

  • Kayak prank... fill 'er up?

    So we were talking about this story where some guys filled a kayak with jelly. it was probably pretty tricky to do. but for our next club trip we want to do a siimilar prank.

    there are a few thing we want to avoid:

    -it has to be cheap

    -it needs to be able to be removed from the boat

    -it needs to be enviromental (whoever comes across it will just tip it straight out of their boat)

    -it cant leave a residue that will damage latex, neoprene or any other gear

    -it can't produce too much heat or it'll melt the boat.

    any ideas????

    our best so far is popcorn. or shaving foam.... lots of foam :)

  • Decathlon 2 second tent?

    I'm heading on a kayaking trip in the alps. I have a tent but I probably won't bother bringing it and just pick up a 2 second tent in Decathlon Paris.

    Can anyone tell me:

    - How much it costs?

    - How many people it holds (including fairly big gear bags?

    - How good it is for 2 weeks of alpine camping?

    And could I get info for the 3 second tent aswell?

    Thanks a lot for reading my question.

  • Coin riddle?

    You have a pile of 24 coins. Twenty-three of these coins have the same weight, and one is heavier. Your task is to determine which coin is heavier and do so in the minimum number of weighings. You are given a beam balance (scale), which will compare the weight of any two sets of coins out of the total set of 24 coins. How many weighings are required to identify the heavier coin?

  • U2 (damn larry, he's so slow)?

    U2 has a concert that starts in just 17 minutes and all of the band members must all cross a bridge to get there. The four men begin on the same side of the bridge and you must help them to get across to the other side.

    Due the age of the bridge, a maximum of two people can cross at one time. To make matters worse, it is night-time and there is only one torch. The torch is always required when crossing the bridge and the torch must be walked back and forth, it cannot be thrown, etc. Each band member walks at a different speed and a pair must walk together at the rate of the slower man:

    Bono takes 1 minute to cross

    Edge takes 2 minutes to cross

    Adam takes 5 minutes to cross

    Larry takes 10 minutes to cross

    For example, if Bono and Larry walk across first, it takes them 10 minutes to cross. If Adam then returns with the torch, a total of 15 minutes will have passed. There is no trick behind this, it is the simple movement of resources in the appropriate order.

  • Can you help me figure out what's wrong with my home theatre system?

    If that's what you'd call it.

    I'm not sure about model numbers but i'll give you a general description first of my setup then tell you the problem.

    I've a Philips 32 inch HD TV and a philips dvd player. There's no stand alone amp. The 5.1 speakers run straight of the DVD player. As you could guess the TV is hooked up by a SCART connection.

    When i use the speakers for my tv it works fine but the trouble occurs when i use my playstation. I have it connected to the TV through HDMI. When I slect the HDMI imput channel the sound from my Playstation doesn't come through to my speakers. Instead I still get the sound from whatever TV station the TV was tuned to before i selected HDMI.

    I thinks it's a problem with the TV because whenever I plug in headphones i have to mute the audio in order to stop the tv from playing through its own speakers.

    Anyway, I'd appreciate any help.

  • one of them hour glass type riddles that make you go WHAAAA?

    You have two fuses (a fuse is something you burn to eventually set off an explosive), one which burns 1 hour and one which burns 2 hours. The fuses do not burn at a constant rate, so, for example, the last few inches of the first fuse could take 5 minutes or 55 minutes to burn. You have as many matches as you want. With these fuses, you have to measure a time period of exactly 45 minutes. How do you do this?

  • Contact lens help?

    I'm trying out contact lenses for the first time. My eye specialist gave me a pair but when i opened the case the left one was dehydrated (obviously the solution leaked out).

    So i asked him to send me another left lense. It arrived today but there were two packets with one lense in each. They are identical and bare no indication of which eye they are intended for. I can't tell if they are 2 left lenses, or a left and a right.

    My question is: does it matter which eye I put them in?
