Sad part is, the teacher had another student do the same dumb thing in the past.
The part about not being very bright is an 32 NFL team problem. I would rather pass on reading Marty B's blog or anyone's.

I always wondered why you could only use #2 pencils on scantrons. Now I know.
"Scantrons work by running two closely-spaces but separate wires along the columns of dots, and the graphite in soft pencil lead acts to complete a circuit, thereby registering on the machine. A lighter mark from a harder pencil won't have enough graphite and of course there is no graphite in ink."
Only thing to figure out now is how and why they number the different types of pencils. Man this Friday just got crazy.
Edit: And now I know
Is there such a thing as a number 1 pencil?
