I almost solved the NCEES Pencil Color Equation! ..... but not quite

[EB NCEES REP]

I had voted for white

 

[ptatohed]

I hope to never hold an NCEES pencil again.

Blasphemy!

I'm the opposite. I actually want to bathe naked in a tub full of NCEES pencils.

That's an interesting fetish you have there.

 

[Clemson CE P.E.]

April 13 is blue, but I have an October 09 that is black.

My October 09 pencil is black too...

 

[Audi Driver P.E.]

This may be the year they go to transparent.

April 2016 was black, at least in Florida.

 

[DuckFlats]

April 2016 was black, at least in Florida.

I sat for the test in Central FL and mine was white, with black grips.

Spam is great!

Wait, I think that post was meant for a different thread...

I have April 2012 and it's black. I'm pretty sure my FE pencil was green and that was April 2007, but I don't have one handy to check. Anyone else take that exam?

I took FE in April '12 and I'm pretty sure it was black.

Green pencil this week? @ptatohed's formula has been spot on for me. I love these pencils, I use them every day for hand calcs at work.

Green is the color of success. Whenever I used green I passed. When I had a different color, things ended differently.

Alternate pencil color theory: NCEES uses a psychic platypus to pick the color for that session.

Green is good!

I had a red pencil for the last paper FE exam in October 2013. I hope we get the green this week. Green means "go" and it's the color of luck. Not that I'm superstitious but it's a nice thought.

I've been using my April 2017 pencil for exam prep, and it makes me simultaneously motivated and sad.

It is a nice thought! Maybe if we all collectively hope for green pencils, we will get green pencils. I'm just over here pulling for straws though. I went and got my nails done on Friday, my favorite color is gray and they had a gray nail polish with my daughters name as part of the name of the polish. I took it as a sign and ran with it. Desperation will make you do/think weird things!

I also had an "unsuccessful attempt" in April 2017. Boo... Buut! You can do it @txjennah!!  Yay!! Go Enviro!
