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

What kind of BS is that?  Everyone takes the pencil.  Also, just because I'm a grumpy "old" man I hate the new pencil design.  They should go back to the old style.

Agree, agree, super agree. totally agree

 They should go back to the old style.

FWIW, there are only six more P&P PE exam sessions.

Eight more if you include SE, and believe that they'll ever figure out how to make that a CBT test.

Was a darn good pencil. Asked the proctor yesterday when I finished if I could keep it lol he said sorry but no and just sort of chuckled. 

Can't comment on feel/writing as I did not take the exam, but look wise thats a pretty sexy pencil.

Is anyone else suspicious that @tj_PE's nail's always match the pencils?

@ptatohed may be if you solve the @tj_PE nail color equation, you can solve this.

also depending where you live I can send you one if you really want it. lol

Lol no it's ok. Hopefully I pass and get one of those cool frames with the NCEES pencil inside!

wait they sell the frames with the pencils? I think those are custom made with the pencils you take from the exam?

 

[LyceeFruit PE]

They are custom

They are custom-made indeed, I have one at my desk....Aaron Brothers (Michael's) did a great job by the way.

So I would've needed to keep my pencli...

Guess I'm SOL then. I shouldn't be worrying about the frame yet anyway...don't even know whether I passed lol.

Also, this pencil eraser was WAAAY better than the POS side click of April 2018. Squaretaper approved. *erasing furiously*

@pse19622 People trade, give, sell pencils on this board all the time.

LOL, I think my half-baked color prediction theory is 100% out the window now!  Purple?!  

I need to work on a new prediction theory it seems.....

But that's the beauty of science (vs. religion), right?  When new data comes along that is counter to what you previously thought, you toss out the old belief and use the new data to work on a new theory.
