--- Comment #4 from Charles Valente <charlesrv7 at gmail.com> ---
Thank you all for testing in other systems.
I am doing further tests with HYPERGEOM.DIST and I'd like to correct what I
said in my initial post: it is not a question of error related to machine
precision, it is a problem in the implementation of the combination (binomial
coefficient) C(n,k) (number of k-combinations in a set with n elements).
It should equate C(n,k) to zero when n<k, but it gives out an error.
