8) Have a risky surgical operation to open a cut in my body, insert the pen then seal the wound, and cut it out in 50 years time
9) Hide it in a cave
10) Go and live as a hermit in Antarctica for 50 years. Keep pen with me at all times

21) Bury it in a grave

24) Put in down the back of the sofa

26) Hide it in a priest hole
27) Let the villains find a fake copy of the pen so they give up and stop looking. The real pen can then be left on display on my mantlepiece.
28) If a small piece of a pen is removed and replaced it is still considered to be the same pen. Repeat this many times until there is nothing of the original left. As there is nothing of the original left the villains won’t recognise it as the pen they are after and it can be left in plain sight.
29) Dismantle the pen into its component pieces. Put them into a container. The villains are too stupid to recognise they are the components of the pen so they can be left in the open. Reassemble the pen in fifty years.

31) Spread rumours that it has been hidden somewhere else to misdirect their search.
32) Build a model of a ship. Hide pen inside the model.

37) Frame the villains for murder, they won’t be finding the pen after they’ve been hanged.
38) Just make a pre-emptive strike and kill all the villains myself.
39) Add some decorations to the pen so in no longer looks like what they are expecting. They can be removed in 50 years time.
40) Give the pen to a trusted friend the villains don’t know about to hide it, then go on an expedition travelling around the world to lead them on a wild goose chase.
41) Join the army, and keep the pen on me. The villains will have a hard time searching for it whilst I am surrounded by a lot of heavily armed people.
42) Join an expedition to explore the Amazon at the last moment. taking the pen with me; they will have a hard time following me.
43) Bury it in the zoo in a cage containing a lot of extremely dangerous animals. Even if they figure out where it is hidden they may be too frightened to risk going after it.
44) Bribe the local police to hide it in the police station
45) In an emergency it could be temporarily hidden up someones bottom
46) As absolute dictator of my country I will ban pens, and require that they are all handed over to me, and buried in a secure vault under my palace. Even if the villains can breach security they will have a hard time finding the one they want amongst all the confiscated pens.
47) Just hand it over to them. They refuse to believe that this is the real pen because I would never hand it over to them and throw it away so I can recover it later. As a result they look everywhere for the pen except where it actually is.
48) Let them have the pen, then steal it back from them later, replacing it with a fake. As they believe they have the pen they won’t search for it so hiding it from them is trivial.
49) Hide it inside a grandfather clock
