Explanation

🌟 Quick Verification

📊 Fact Spotlight

Feature	Default/Limit	Context
Default Worksheets	3	Initial startup condition
Max Default Cap	255	Theoretical configuration limit
Overall Limit	Memory-Dependent	Restricted by RAM availability

💡 Exam Strategy & Trivia

Tip

Common Pitfall: Do not confuse the default number of sheets with the maximum number of sheets possible. Defaults are hard-coded initial states.
