I don't know, but given the result is (2^16)-1, ie the largest number that can be stored in 2 bytes (16 bits) ignoring sign, it's something to do with switching between the number of bytes used?

[quote] Wiki has the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/65535]answer[/url].
[quote]
In Microsoft Excel 2003 and lower, the maximum amount of rows one was allowed to use was 65535. In Microsoft Office 2007 this has been extended to 1,048,576 (or 2^20) rows.


Feel better now?

Not really. I thought it was going to be one of those things where it comes up 'w*nker' or something.
