Winners, er, make that "the one winner" of the March/April WTHII is...

Finally, I found a gadget not everyone knew. The past 3 WTHII games brought dozens of right answers. But this month, just one person knew what it really was! Here's that one winning answer:

This is a pencil sharpener....really..it sharpens pencils when used correctly. Rpaul

---

Good job, Rpaul! Yes, it's a ZenZoi Manual 1 hole pencil sharpener. I couldn't show the front of it, because it has the name printed on it, and besides it looked more mysterious from the back.

I bought them on Amazon here, but right now they show "Currently Unavailable" as of May 1, 2017. They were sold in a box of 3 for $19.99.
