| |  I think they gave you a trick question Sue.
The only uses I can think of other then writing are for annoying people with.
1. Can be placed behind your ear.
2. Can be used to clean your ear.
3. Can be bounced on the desk and annoy the crap out of you.
4. Can be clicked on the teeth for same reason as # 3.
5. Can also be used to shoot rubber bands off.
sorry I was no help.

| | Coat Hanger Uses
1. Getting Car doors unlocked when you lost your keys.
2.Using as a car aerial when yours is broken.
3.Using to grab hold of the strings that shut vertical blinds when some idiot puts junk in your way.
4. Can be used to hang venetain blinds on the clothesline after you have washed them.
5. Can be used for pulling dropped items out of hard to reach places.
Cannot think of anymore. This is what I have used them for. | | | |

| |  What a weird question to ask at an interview, you would never in a million years dream that an interviewer is going to lay that one down on you, gee I would be speechless, good on you for coming up with some ideas, now bearing in mind I am not in that room so don't have the pressure or the stress of being watched and bearing in mind I have time to think about the question I am truly stuck for an answer, the only one I can think of is to poke your ear out with, don't laugh but I have done that in the past! Or used a pencil to scratch my back which I can't reach! I would have failed on that question for sure.

| | yes it is weird,but i suppose they want to get the most creative person,or some one who thinks outside of the box to work for them,this same mob asked 5 uses for a coathanger as well besides hanging up clothes.my first answer was break into a car,imagine what they thought then.cheers sue | | | |

| |  1)making god's eyes... im not sure if you know what this is but it is a craft where you put two sticks or in this case pencils together and cross them and weave yarn around them... they are really pretty.
2)pointing at things on an overhead projector
3)flag pole for those tiny American flags you see on memorial day... i broke the stick off mine when i was little and taped the flag to the pencil.
4)ring holder.... if you tape it to a flat piece of cardboard you can use it to hold your rings that you are not wearing
5)earing backs... tear off the eraser and use it as an earing back if you lose one
I come from a seven kid family so I guess this kind of thing comes natural because we always had to save money.

| |  five uses of a lead pencil other than drawing or writing. One could measure its length then use it as a small ruler. two you might use it to feather your eyebrows if youdid not have an eyebrow pencil. three you could stab an irritating person with it if they weretrying to hurt you; four, you could use it as a dart in a foam rubber dart game, five. you could draw worry lines on your face with it to amuse your kids
