Yes, there are all different numbers of pencils.  #1 is very hard.  ranges from 1-10 10 being the softest!

The liquid is transparent if you can see the pencil. The reason the pencil looks that way is refraction. The light travels differently through the water, so it bends and doesn't go in the same straight line that it was. So you see half in the air, straight, and half in the water, at a different angle. Try putting the pencil in slowly. You will see it is only the part that is in the water that looks bent. Other liquids (oil, rubbing alchol) bend the light different amounts so the angle is different. Try it and see.

Yes.  For some reason page 2 isn't showing up.  There seems to be a glitch on Y!A since the last time they changed things.

I took PSAT on october 21st, I brought a mechanical pencil with me, the kind that's made to take the computer tests...but my teachers said that college board had made a new announcement saying that all students should use the regular number 2 pencil because the computers are having hard time reading the mechanical pencil ones... even though they are also number 2...

Ubergeek is right again, almost.  Half the cards are black, so prob that the first one is is 1/2.  After that, only 25 of the remaining 51 cards are, so prob that the second is black is 25/51, and prob both are is the product, 1/2 * 25/51 = 0.245098, roughly.  I used to teach this stuff.

Nothing's hidden inside, but it's an ambigram.  Print it out and turn it 90 degrees and see what happens; then 90 more, then 90 more.  You will see something cool.

well you know that big y that looks like this Y! and has a pencil next to it go next to the pencil and type in what you are looking for.

2p, then 3s, 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s 4d 5p 6s 4f 5d 6p 7s 5f\n\nthey do not go in order 3p, 3d etc because 4s needs to be filled before 3d can be, so it comes after 3p, and then 4 p comes after 3d and so fourth.

Could be a bad box. When did you get it? The older boxes only did one show at a time. The newer boxes do two. Either way, take it back to get a new one that does 2 shows.

Nothing.  The number on the pencil refers to the hardness of the "lead" (actually graphite) used in it.  A #2 pencil uses more compact lead and so smudges less and leaves clearer markings than a #1 pencil does.  On the other hand, it's lead is softer than a #3 pencil, which would not leave a clear mark without pressing hard enough to tear the paper on which most tests are written.\n\nTherefore, the administrators of the test require you to use a pencil with a #2 hardness lead in it, which is lucky for you because at this point, #2 pencils are pretty much the standard pencils you're going to find if you just go and buy a box of "pencils".\n\nAddendum:  The machine used to score the test couldn't tell whether or not you used the correct pencil lead, but like I said a #1 would likely smudge too much to make the test machine readable, and a #3 would tear through the paper, and the machine wouldn't be able to read it as a result.  So long story short, it couldn't tell if you used the wrong lead, but it probably couldn't read the test properly if you did.

pencils are good and relativly cheep, also stickers are fun for kids of that age, i suggest you go to the dollar store and run amuck.
