Proving that the earth was round instead of flat.

Round is an infinitely more efficient design to accommodate the rotations, orbits and movements of the planets and galaxies. Can't imagine a "flat-disk" planet-design doing (or trying to do) what the round, circular design does.
Construction pencils are flat because they are less likely to roll off surfaces, making them easier to handle and less likely to get lost on a job site.
Pencils have six sides because for the companies making them it's alot cheaper. You can make more six sided pencils from the same amount of wood than round pencils.
