If you arrange the answers to the first part in a touchtone pattern (answers in a 3 x 3 square) you get:
Code:
T I C P E N R E B T A C S A C E L Y T O E O L A E L L G E R T H R G I L A L D E E S L E S I N E O N S P I E M I C F O U S O U R O C R H C T H P H I P L U B A R K T O U C H T O N E

Then you take out the 1st and last clue, because they were really only used to get us to make this grid. You then have:
Code:
P E N R E B S A C E L Y O L A E L L G E R T H R G I L A L D E E S L E S I N E O N S P I E M I C F O U S O U R O C R H C T H P H I P L U B A R K

As you know, each of the touchtone keys represented have letters on them (1 = ABC, 2=DEF, etc). If we remove the letters that are on their respective key, we get:

Code:
P E N R B S L Y O L L L E R T H R G I L A L D E E S L E S N E O N S P I E M I C F O S O U O C R H C T H P H I L B A R K

What does that give us? Look again...
Code:
P E N R B S L Y O L L L E R T H R G I L A L D E E S L E S N E O N S P I E M I C F O S O U O C R H C T H P H I L B A R K

The answer is obvious...we're looking for a pen that is made out of bark and writes in neon colors.
