Movie Quiz in Excel

Hiya!
I'm compiling a movie quiz where people have to identify a film and type it in. They get awarded one point for each correct answer. At the moment I'm using the IF function to award the point (e.g. =IF(A1="The Terminator",1,IF(A1="Terminator 2",1,0)). Obviously I don't want people to see these formulas but when I hide the formulas and then protect the sheet they can't type in their answers. How can I get around this? All help very gratefully received!

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
Before protecting the sheet, unlock the cells that they will enter the answers in (In this case, A1). Then protect the sheet. They'll be able to enter data and won't see the formulas either.

To unlock the cells as Juan has said, select the cells, hit Format-Cells-Protection and uncheck the Locked checkbox.
