Pen
What is the pen used for? And how can I use it?
Confusing Stuff=
[blocks]<clear><pen down><pen up><change pen color by( <set pen color to( <change pen shade by( <set pen shade to( <change pen size by( <set pen size to( <stamp>[/blocks]
Math Trick of the Week: Choose any three digit number that's one digit is at least 2 less that the tens digit and the tens digit at least 2 less than the hundreds. Then, reverse the digits and subtract. Then, reverse the digits in the answer and add. You should get 1089.

Re: Pen
Lol, pen down will put down a mark where the sprite you put the block on is, according to the specified colour, shade and size. Stamping is kind of like duplicating the sprite, but it just leaves the current picture of the sprite (in the position it is in).
So yeah. Anything else?
And don't worry, I never even used the pen blocks until a few months of Scratch!

Re: Pen
Pen blocks are not used very often; they're mostly for paint games. Mostly.
clear: clears all the pen marks and stamps on the screen.
pen down: sets the pen down, so wherever that sprite moves, it'll leave a trail.
pen up: stops the pen from drawing.
change pen color by: changes the color. high number: change faster, low: slower.
set pen color to: sets the pen color
change pen shade by: changes the shade of the color
set pen shade to: like ^^^ but is exact
change pen size by: increases/decreases pen size (how big the trail is)
set pen size to: sets the pen size
stamp: leaves the picture of the costume of the sprite
There you go!

Re: Pen
Basically they just let you draw something on the stage. If you use stamp, the sprite will leave an exact duplicate of itself, without scripts, on the stage. If you do pen down, it will draw wherever the sprite is until you use a pen up block.
A few of the other blocks, like change pen size by ( ) are to edit the size and colour of the pen.
Hope I helped
