Excel Champ

Congratulations are in order: UK student wins Microsoft Excel World Championship.

UK student Rebecca Rickwood has won a global competition to find the best user of Microsoft's spreadsheet software, Excel 2007.

Rebecca, who is 15, was one of 228,000 competitors from 57 countries. She beat 78 students in the final round.

Competitors were required to perform timed tests to demonstrate their skill at making spreadsheets.

She scored 100%. Can't get much better than that.

I'd like to see that test.
