Ok, your doing math homework due tomorrow your pencil breaks, you have no pencil sharpener, no other pencils in your house, and you can't use pen. What do you do?
Get a short, sharp knife and cut away the shavings to allow the lead to come through. Just make sure you sharpen in the direction away from you. You don't want to end up with a knife sticking out of your stomach.
Wait until the morning until you get to school, borrow a pencil from a friend and ( if you stink at math like myself) Christmas tree the thing. Or! bare with me on this.... dont do it. I prefer the later.
What I always do, Wait until the next morning, freak out, and then do it at school, Oh wait... Our Math teacher doesn't give us homework...................................
This ALWAYS happens!! I would either use pen anyway, use a knife to sharpen it, go out and buy one, but what i usually do is use the lead bit that broke, or wait until the next day to copy off someone.
But copying off someone can be a problem because everyonw thinks the same thing, so they come to school hoping to copy off me! So in the end none of us do it:)
