    I think this is the same problem I was tasked with many moons ago when I was at school, but then it was referred to as something to do with rice and a chessboard.

    Perhaps if you post your current workbook and explain a little more about what you need we'll be able to help quicker.

    EDIT: Nevermind, Alan beat me to it with a nice simple answer

    If function is a simple statement testing for a condition (first argument), answer if condition is true (second argument), then last argument is answer if condition is false.
