Wonderful, the tricks the mind can play.
The tool is a very common one in one form or another, everywhere. I'd be willing to bet that every household has at least one, and if not, soon will. I think that I missed the "correct" answer due to having a mechanical background and a lot of tools, some of them pretty esoteric.
I think that the simple math merely gets the mind into a sort of smoothed-out, lightly concentrated state where the sudden, off-the-wall mention of a tool automatically brings up the one virtually everybody has and uses on a pretty regular basis.
As to the color, I dunno how that's arrived at but it's probably along those same lines. Fun stuff.
