The assassin weapon of choice for years that was small, easy to push in deep even for a weak woman, and easy to pull back out too, was an ice pick. They are rare to find today but they are strong enough to puncture bone and reach the brain or heart easily. The ice pick is built to rip apart large blocks of ice and is a very strong long spiked weapon capable of even penetrating body armor. The one drawback is that it makes a small hole so the person using it must be accurate in their attack or the person stabbed could live long enough to attack back. It is best for heart and brain stabs or if the attacker knows anatomy, major arteries or veins in the neck, arm, groin etc.

What can cause sharp intense pain in the forehead which only lasts a few seconds?

A sharp, stabbing pain that occurs as a single or short series of stabs can be what is called an ice pick headache. These are often called a Primary Stabbing Headache. They are most common in people who have cluster or migraine headaches, and are very common in women. Treatment can be difficult due to the short duration of pain. Using an ice pack can help a headache, as well as over the counter pain relievers. If the become a big problem your doctor can prescribe various medications to try. Unfortunately, not all medications work the same for all people. It is often a "try and see" approach.

Will a sharp metal point with a small radius curvature store a large or small amount of charge?

There are two limits to how much charge a perfect conductor can store. One is determine by its area and has nothing to do with sharpness or radius of curvature. Thus, a larger area can store more charge than a smaller area. However, the other limit on the maximum stored charge is when the potential reaches the breakdown voltage and then an arc occurs. This breakdown voltage is easier to achieve when the object is sharp and thus ultimately it will indeed store less charge.


When using the oil immersion lens if you are unable to bring the specimen into sharp focus what do you do?

If you are unable to bring the specimen into sharp focus with the oil immersion lens, you can try adjusting the height of the microscope stage slightly to bring the specimen closer to or further away from the lens. Additionally, make sure to add a small drop of immersion oil onto the specimen to improve the clarity and sharpness of the image.
