are pencils allowed?

I'm just double-checking. Are we allowed to bring pencils onboard? I'm flying to NY tomorrow, and I'll have a puzzle book with me. I prefer to use pencils, but the point is rather sharp. I know you're not supposed to bring anything sharp onboard, so I don't know if Security will let me take them with me. That's why I'm asking.

For crossword puzzles and Sudoku no pencils are allowed. Only permanent ink markers. No exceptions.

Then I have a question, if no pencils are allowed. There is a special page in back of my Sudoku book that;s made for dry-erase markers...(a completely blank Sudoku puzzle). Would these be acceptable? I would think so. I'll still bring the pencils just in case I get lucky. I would have to copy the numbers of the puzzle I want to do in one color marker, and then switch to another color to do the game. That would be a pain, but I'd see no other way to do it.

I think J62 was joking with you cmm! I think [s]he meant that a Suduko puzzle must be worked in ink to be a real challenge; not that pencils aren't allowed on plane. If I got it; J62 thinks pencils shouldn't be used on puzzle no matter where you work on it. Many think the same thing about a crossword puzzle.

Take your pencils, no one will bother you about them.

Just don't take purple crayons. If Sybil is sitting next to you, it could put her over the edge. ;-)

You can't write threatening notes and pass them to the FAs.
