A list of numbers is made with the pattern: Start with 11, and subtract 4 to find the next number.
Here is the beginning of the list: 11, 7, 3, . . .
Explain how you could use "fill down" in a spreadsheet to find the tenth number in this list. (You do not need to actually find this number.)

Here is a spreadsheet showing the computations for a different version of the birthday trick:
Explain what formulas you would enter is cells B4 through B8 so that cell B8 shows a number representing the month and day. (In this example, cell B8 should show 704.)
