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

[DoctorWho-PE]

It was a change up! It was black and white, with a *gasp* SIDE CLICKER. I hated it. I wanted my French-made artisan tool. Made-in-China side-clicky with a crappy eraser? Hard pass!

That would have been horrible for me.  I am a creature of habit, so I bought the same pencils as the PE pencils for studying, so my hand could be used to using it. Changing the pencil would have been disastrous.

Let's start a pool - I say the October test will be Green - just a gut feeling.

I like the colour green

Oct 2016 was indeed green, but things didn't work out for me that year. I'm praying to the standardized testing gods for you all.

There's a lot of combinations to bet on. Color of text, color of grip/clip, shape or lead extension button.

FWIW, I'm not getting in on any bets.

Holy crap, what if they go with clear?

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.

I'm super curious if they're staying with the side clicker or going back to the original Bic Matic. For me, the geometry of my head makes it really comfortable to tuck the pencil behind my ear at work. The April 2018 pencil was fatter and keeps falling off my head. These are the important things...

It was back to a top clicker BUT was still a thicker pencil.

Some were green, some were blue.

Great!  I'll take a partial win

How do you think you did Lycee?

I'm so sorry to have to see that

I'm so sorry to have to see that

*shrugs* it is what it is.

I moved part way through my studying block and never got the groove back. And this year's power exam was the roughest one yet. I don't know where the hell some of those questions came from. I had nothing like them in my examples (which admittedly are older since I got resources through coworkers) but so many out of left field.

The pencil color! 

 

[RBHeadge PE]

I don't like orange.

Holy crap, what if they go with clear?

Well, there goes that theory.
