Christopher -- sure. I just tried this on Google Drive's Spreadsheet and on Microsoft Excel:
=RATE(50,35,-250,0)
The result in both cases is approximately 0.1398.
When I try the same formula in LibreOffice, I get a nonsensical answer. (I sure hope no one out there is using this function to calculate important financial figures!) I'm using LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2) on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit.
