Pencils can write under water, but on what? I dont think the paper will still work under water. Also, you state in one part that they can draw a line 70 miles long, and in another that they can draw a line 35 miles long.
At other commenter, It says what it says. Oh well. You might think it wrong others might think it right.
Really interesting! Helped me a lot on my work.
Really interesting! Helped me a lot with my work.
This really helped me with my work, except for when it said 35 miles for one and 70 for another. Plus, what would the pencil write on under water :s? Oh, well. It helped me, anyway, and that's what mattered.
Why does it say in one prat a pencil can draw a 70 mile long line, than in another part it can draw a 35 mile long line.
Same things above. But still, it helped a lot. Nice job, considering how people don't usually care about pencils.👍
