Not necessarily. A #2 pencil may also be designated as HB. Most of the ones that you see at the grocery store or big office supply store will be number 2 (lead hardness). But I know that #3 wood pencils do exist (#3 is a harder lead). They are probably less common now, than used to be, though. Maybe at an art store or drafting supply, you might find different hardness pencils.
h pencils have harder lead, and they don't smudge easily and your lines are light-colored. Your b pencils have soft, black lead, and they are used for blending and shading when drawing. The higher the number for your b pencils, the darker your lead and lines are going to be.
There are 12 pencils in the box.
HB refers to the hardness of the pencil. In the scale H is used for harder pencils (H for hard) HH HHH HHHH all get progressively harder, and B (the B stands for black) BB BBB BBBB get progressively softer. HB pencils (#2 on the US pencil-hardness scale) are right in the middle, so the HB stands for Hard Black.

Yes, there is no rules written that you can't use mechanical pencils for school. However, it's better to get number 2 HB pencils because it's easier to erase.

on normal pencils its HB which stands for hard black and the 'b' on other pencils stands for black and the higher the number is on the pencil the less amount of clay is in the pencil which means that pencil mark is a darker and softer
No. Pencils were not invented in that time. They did wrap graphite in string to use like a pencil. The first pencil was invented in 1666 in Nuremburg, Germany.
No, number 2 pencils are not safe for eyebrows. The graphite in the pencil can irritate the skin and may contain chemicals that are not meant for cosmetic use. For eyebrow grooming, it's best to use products specifically designed for that purpose, such as eyebrow pencils or powders that are formulated for safe use on the skin.
Graphite was originally used for pencils until a mixture of lead and clay was invented in 1795.
Some time around the year 1565.
No. The number designation refers to the hardness of the graphite core and not to the material the pencil is made of.
