Mr. Spencer is in a meeting with the big boss from Computer Internationals - you know the company that wants to invest in Hungary - and he needs our statistics with the figures for the past quarter. Problem is, I can't find the Excel table anywhere. I remember saving it, but it seems to have totally disappeared.

Sam - Do you remember the file name?

Mary - I know this sounds stupid but I forgot to give it a name; I just clicked on Save.

Sam - Do you by chance remember what you typed into the first cell?

Mary - Wait a minute... First I wanted to design the columns and the first column title was ‘Month'.

Sam - Then firstly we need to look for a file named ‘Month' among your Excel documents. Let me see...
