on

Published in Daily Trivia

The average pencil holds enough graphite to draw a line about 35 miles long or to write roughly 45,000 words. History does not record anyone testing this statistic. If you wanted to remove that line you'd have an easier time in the U.S.; Most pencils sold in America today have eraser tips, while those sold in Europe usually have none
