Contrary to that, I've read that in the south of Britain, so say 51°N, just 15 minutes exposure in the middle of the day in the spring and summer months, on the face and hands alone, gives you sufficient vitamin D for the whole year.

The dubious wisdom of choosing Excel for this aside, how many people working in (1.) computing and (2.) statistics saw a file with exactly 65536 rows, with nary an eyebrow raised? And I mean the first time they saw it, not the second,
