                      If you could figure out how to make soap from fat, you could be the clean one. Supposedly that helped the Vikings take the ladies home.

                          I know how to make rope, among other things, as an eagle scout, and I have some experience with atatl so, probably dying of fever at 14.

                            Excel, it wouldn't be useful but I'd still be great at it.

                                Definitely some kind of stone bulwark at the cave entrance to keep out the bears and prehistoric cheetahs.

                                I was taught they never actually lived in caves, by an angry frenchman when I visited caves in France. The car sized bears did hibernate there though (and people did paintings in the caves).

                                    I can make soap from fats and lye (from wood ash). Getting the right balance of fats/lye would be tricky; I've never used wood ash so I'd need some time to work out the right formula. But, theoretically, I could make handmade soap for everyone.

                                        Great! I got a random Excel question. Sometimes when I pull reports at work the format for the price changes. Instead of showing the $ and the correct amount of spaces after the cent sign like .00, it has no $ and many digits after the cent sign like .000000000000000.

                                        Now when I try to change the cell format back to currency, accounting, text, or anything it keeps the same format and amount of digital after the cent sign. The work around I found is to open up a different Excel doc type it in the correct format and then copy and paste over the incorrect formatted cell.

                                        Do you can a better answer or did I explain horribly and your as confused as me when I try to fix Excel?
