I just flood the zone with mechanical pencils. There's at least one

If I have one pencil, I can keep track of it for weeks. If I have a
dozen, I'll lose 11 of them in a week.

Oh, absolutely! ...but I'd still have the one I needed. ;-)

BTW, I must have a dozen-dozen laying around the shop, somewhere. I
have at least two dozen in my office at work, and it's only 8'x8'.
When I say "flood the zone", I do mean it. ;-)
