Absolutely loved this, Kyle.

The humble pencil is the quiet king of tools.

Love it!!

A pencil and a piece of paper are all I have ever needed to be entertained for hours. My mother, also an artist, encouraged this from as soon as I was able to hold a pencil. Thanks, Mom! Thank you, pencils!

This is awesome but for some reason it put me in mind of this is not a pipe and that was all I could think about.

I was reading along, queuing through the rhythm. 🕺🪩🎶

And then...

And then....

my Indian brain stopped in its tracks at "3 multiplied by 17"...!!!🙀🙉🙈

We're not allowed to use pen/pencil and paper for that! 🚫 You know it. And if not, you do that right in your mind/brain!

No writing! No, no, no, no... no! 🙀🙅‍♂️❌🚫

Edit: Just adding this video for some context on expectations! 😄

This is great! Pencils can also write underwater! And in zero gravity, but I haven't tested that one.
