Assuming a brand new BIC ballpoint pen ....

If you were to draw a line and not stop until the ink was exhausted - how long would that line be ?

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else

This sounds like the sort of thing best done by experimentation.

We should ask nottsmale to test it.

Using a statistically relevant sample - 100 pens?

Look forward to the results in a couple of years time!

It depends upon if its narrow point or not i would think.

"

Actually you might have a point as some colours are bound to be thicker than others.

Apparently a Bic Clic Stic Pen will write for more than a mile.

And quality of writing paper or other material, blotting paper and photographic gloss paper may lead to different rates of usage. We need to know.

So would a Staedtler write for 1.6 kilometres?

Are we allowed to draw circles?

I would presume so. i am also thinking the ink will last longer due to slower flow on a cooler day than warm
