It's called 1H, or 1B. no.2 is just HB. So i'm gonna have to say no way, because that's not a fact :D

That still is, technically, a #1 pencil.

._. People use it for art, I think it goes all the way up to #6

yeah it does go up to six. the number represents the softness or firmness of the "lead" that is in the pencil. 1 being the softest and 6 being the firmest.

mm mm, 6B is the softest, 6H is the hardest. HB can be thought of as zero.

One time I used a number 3 on a standardized test. I didn't even know the bastards existed so I didn't bother to check.
