  1. Abstract The flex divisor$$R_{\textrm flex}$$ of a primitively polarized K3 surface $(X,L)$ is, generically, the set of all points $$x\in X$$ for which there exists a pencil $$V\subset |L|$$ whose base locus is $$\{x\}$$. We show that if $L^2=2d$ then $$R_{\textrm flex}\in |n_dL|$$ with $$ \begin{align*} &n_d= \frac{(2d)!(2d+1)!}{d!^2(d+1)!^2} =(2d+1)C(d)^2,\end{align*}$$where $C(d)$ is the Catalan number. We also show that there is a well-defined notion of flex divisor over the whole moduli space $$F_{2d}$$ of polarized K3 surfaces.
