Where do you find the pink crayons on my sims?

Red Crayons are found in a secret cave in the forest. or In the desert, somewhere about NW in the desert you will find a plateau (I guess) with a home site on it.

And that's where Red Crayons hide :) actually i tried that and only found yellow crayon and Tina dolls!mostly yellow crayons a lot of em!!thought i might a few people the trip!!!!


Who is the inventor of the crayon?

There is no one inventor recorded for the history of the crayon. Crayons evolved from the original encaustic painting with wax done as far back as the Greeks. Later, pastels, chalk and colored pencils all contributed to a piece of the modern crayon puzzle. Conte crayons were developed in the late 1700s in Europe and served to move the pastels closer toward a wax crayon solution even though they themselves weren't actually a wax crayon. Lithographers came along and used wax based crayons for their trade. Eventually companies in Europe such as Couleurs formulated crayons in sticks but made them from toxic substances. In the USA, Franklin Mfg Co, NY was one of the first manufacturers of crayons in 1876. They started out with industrial crayons but were one of the first to feature school crayons for children in decorative boxes in the 1880s and 1890s. Charles Bowley, out of the Boston, MA area did the same in the late 1880s and when production got too big, he partnered with American Crayon Company who put out his line of crayons in 1902. All of the major pencil manufacturers dabbled in crayons prior to 1903 as well (Eagle Pencil, Eberhard Faber, American Lead Pencil, Joseph Dixon). Other companies got involved in making the modern was crayon or the modern pressed crayon for artist purposes. Companies like Standard Crayon Co. started around the late 1890s. Milton Bradley had crayons prior to 1900 as did Joseph Dixon and the Prang Educational Company. Edward Binney and Harold Smith were the creator of the Crayola brand; launched in June 1903 and made toxic-free for kids. They actually produced 18 different crayon assortments with a color palate consisting of 38 different colors across their entire line right from their original beginnings. They focused initially on the Crayola line, targeted as a quality but inexpensive option for schools as well as a higher-end line called Rubens-Crayola which targeted artists. Most of their earliest assortments were phased out as the company moved from their original experimental boxes to a more consistant look with their "Gold Medal" design that they would use for over 50 years. The Gold Medal was won in 1904 during the St. Louis World's Fair and helped to create the famous No 8. box which actually debuted in early 1905. With this consistant method, Crayola was not only synonymous with the word "crayon" but consumers had a common box association with the product, something unique in the crayon industry. While over it's 130 plus year history there have been over 300 known manufacturers of crayons, the company that Edward Binney and Harold Smith established, now named Crayola LLC, is still the world's biggest manufacturer of crayons.

Is there a 480 count crayon box?

No. Crayola did a 200 color assortment at one time but these days they only have about 120 colors actively used for their crayons. There are school sets that have over 800 crayons in them but they only offer up 16 colors. They are bulk assortments. In the history of Crayola, they haven't even developed enough true colors to create a 480 color box. There are only around 330 true colors that they have created since 1903.

The sensory layer of the eye?

The retina contains the light receptors. Rods for light level, and cones for colour. You can perform a simple experiment to show that the colour receptors are only in the centre of the eye. First of all get a box of coloured crayons and without looking at them, pick one, and hold it behind your head. Make sure you don't see it yet! Looking fixedly ahead, gradually bring the crayon round the side of your head. Notice where your hand is when you first see the motion of the crayon. Continue bring it forward, noting when you can first determine the colour of the crayon. Try again for randomly selected colours.


If you had 17 crayons at the end of the day gave out 14 crayons getting back 12 crayons and giving out 11 crayons how many crayons would you have to start with?

It's a little bit hard to tell what you are talking about because you can't use periods. but from what I have gathered you would have 30 crayons at the beginning of the day... how I figured this out: you start our with X amount of crayons, you give out 14 only getting 12 back, There are 2 crayons that you dont have at the end of the day.(14-12=2) Then you give out 11 crayons. There are 11 Crayons you don't have at the end of the day. So now you add up the 2 Crayons you never got back and the 11 Crayons you gave out (2+11=13) now you can't forget the 17 that you still have. so now you add 13 and 17 which equals 30 (13+17=30) I hope this helped
