Pencil Sharpener

You looked around for someone to ask for help. You saw a man with a grey beard and a brown coat. “Hey! Excuse me sir! I have travelled in time, and I don’t have a coat! Can you help me find a coat?”. The man raises one of his bushy eye brows and takes a closer look at you. “Travelled in time you say? Could it be? Come with me into the tavern over here. There you can get some heat in ya, and you can tell me all about that time travel business”.
You followed the man towards a building with a sign out front that says, “Green Dragon”. What a strange name for a shop.

When the old man opened the door, you could hear a bell ring. The air was warm and comfortable. You saw several tables with people sitting around them. They were drinking coffee.

You followed the old man who walked up to the counter and ordered two coffees. “I don’t like coffee” you said. “Don’t mind the taste, it will make your warmer” he answered as he pulled out a chair for himself while pointing with his hand that you should also take a seat. You sat down as well. “So, you travelled in time you say?” the man asked. You realized that it sounded kind of crazy, but it was the truth. “Yes, I was taking this test at school when I used…” the man interrupted you and said “a magical pencil sharpener”. You were shocked! How did he know about the pencil sharpener?

The man from behind the counter brought the two coffees to the table. The old man thanked him and sent him away before he continued “You’re not the first one to use it you know. I used it on a test once as well”. The man carefully drank from the hot coffee. “What was the question on your test? Maybe I can help you”. You were amazed that the first man you talked to knew about the pencil sharpener, but you did need some help on the first question of that test.

What will you do?
