Brick falls within the range of 5-7 on the Mohs hardness scale, depending on its composition and firing process. This means that brick is harder than materials like fingernails and gypsum, but softer than materials like steel and glass.
Glass is a hard and smooth surface, making it difficult for the pencil to leave a visible mark. The graphite in pencils is not abrasive enough to scratch the glass and create a lasting mark. Additionally, the pencil lead is not easily visible on the transparent surface of glass.
To work harder than your hardest involves you pushing yourself to the limit, working harder than you ever have before.
Yes, unless it is an extremely long pencil!
Why is quartz harder steel
It's softer. #1 softest, #2 slightly harder, #3 harder than #2, etc.Softer.a #1 pencil is softer than a#2 pencil
Bricks are heavier and bulkier than pencils, making them more difficult to lift and handle. Additionally, bricks are irregularly shaped and do not have convenient grips like pencils, which can make them harder to pick up. The weight distribution in a brick also makes it more challenging to hold compared to a balanced and lightweight pencil.
The 'lead' or graphite in a pencil is softer. Try writing on paper, the pencil will write, the real lead will not
Better than a sharp pencil, not quite as good as a brick.
Chalk is generally softer than pencil lead. Chalk is made of the mineral calcite, which is relatively soft, while pencil lead is made of graphite, which is harder.
That would depend if the pencil were an H or a B. Artist pencils are identified with a number and a letter. H is for hard. A 6H pencil would be harder than a 4H pencil. B is for soft. A 6B pencil would be softer than a 4B pencil.

Some are good, some aren't. Better than a sharp pencil, not quite as good as a brick.
A brick is a hard, solid building material made from clay or concrete, while a sponge is a soft, porous material used for cleaning or absorbing liquids. Bricks are typically heavy and durable, while sponges are lightweight and flexible.
Glass is a hard and smooth surface, making it difficult for the pencil to leave a visible mark. The graphite in pencils is not abrasive enough to scratch the glass and create a lasting mark. Additionally, the pencil lead is not easily visible on the transparent surface of glass.
To break a brick painlessly over your hand by slamming it with a hammer, hold the brick securely on a stable surface with your hand underneath. Then, swiftly and firmly strike the center of the brick with the hammer. The force of the impact should break the brick cleanly in half without harming your hand.
The "lead" in drawing pencils has various grades or hardness. The hardness of a drawing pencil is designated by a number and an H. The higher the number the harder the pencil is, the slower it wears done, the longer it retains its point, the less it smudges and the lighter the line is that is drawn. For example, 6H pencils are harder than 2H pencils. The softness of a pencil is designated by a number and a B. The higher the number the softer the pencil is, the faster it wears down, the easier it is to smudge and blend, and the darker the line is that is drawn. For example 8B pencils are softer than 2B pencils. There is a standard, middle of the road pencil, the HB pencil, sometimes called the Number two pencil. This has some of the drawing qualities of both hard and soft pencils and in a pinch will serve for most drawing and writing needs.
