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. For every 8 round pencils there would be 9 six sided pencils. Also they don't roll off of desks as easily. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Also like honeycomb, hexagonal tubes stack very well in a box with no space left between them.
