There are some articles talking about this in Wikipedia, but as I heard from my teacher who has lots of knowledge, it was invented by a child who was in school, playing with a piece of thin metal, and when he turned in his homework, he twisted it around and used it as a paperclip that's used these days. I'm pretty sure that the paperclip the child made didn't look exactly the same as today's paperclip.

How would you separate marbles and steel magnetic paperclips using a magnet?

To separate marbles from steel magnetic paperclips using a magnet, first spread the mixture of marbles and paperclips on a flat surface. Then, hold a strong magnet above the mixture; the paperclips will be attracted to the magnet while the marbles will remain unaffected. Carefully lift the magnet, and the paperclips will cling to it, allowing you to easily remove them from the marbles. Finally, release the paperclips from the magnet into a separate container.
