Here's a “Sharpen your pencil” that is actually about pencils (oh, and images too).
This exercise involves a bit of trivia:
Given a typical, brand-new pencil, if you drew
one continuous line with it, using the entire pencil up, how long would the line be?
What's that got to do with images? To find the answer, you had to write some
HTML. The answer to this trivia is contained in the image that is at the URL: http://

this HTML and retrieve the answer. Here's our solution.
