Why are Number 2 Pencils So Special?
One of the most befuddling things about taking standardized tests is the fact that your entire life will be destroyed if you don’t use a Number 2 pencil. For some mysterious reason only known to God, a Number 2 pencil is the only writing instrument recognized by the SAT. If, God forbid, you took the test with a Number 3 or a Number 608 pencil, you would not only bomb the test, but face prison charges of up to twenty years.
