Looking at the responses, I said pens, I’m surprised that the answer is overwhelmingly pencils. Must be an American thing, I barely remember using a pencil at all at school.

At least when I was a kid, pencils, rather than pens, were definitely more typical in U.S. schools, especially in elementary schools. Not sure about today, but then, we are also largely a bunch of Dopers of a certain age.

Bah. Just an exercise in groupthink! The true originals. like **Yllaria** , are the real winners here!

(No, I’m not bitter about my bottom-third finish. Why do you ask?)

I would have done a lot better if I hadn’t mentally switched Jerry Orbach with Richard Belzer.

ETA: Thanks, **Rebo** , for running the game!
