How long is a peice of string?

[snook]

About this long.

[snook]

Potterfan, haven't you got any homework you should be doing??

[potterfan3]

Snook are you from the "who fancies a pint thread?"

[snook]

That's me! Don't tell the missus, she thinks I'm up here looking for porn.

[potterfan3]

LoL

I've tied my answer to the end of your piece of string so I hope that helps?

[ianess]

It's still half an inch too short.

[snook]

KebabMeister, I realise you meant well, but tying that answer to the end of the string has only confused matters. For a start, it�s added to the overall length (let�s face it, it�s always difficult to judge where the string ends and the answer begins), and on top of that the weight of the answer itself might have stretched the string, thereby making an accurate measurement all but impossible. Oh, I know the answer was short and fairly lightweight, but just as even light itself has mass (as Einstein proved), so even the most inoffensive and harmless looking answer has a measureable weight. I suggest the only way this could be counteracted is if you hauled your answer high above the Earth (with the string dragging along in its wake) to where the gravitational pull becomes negligible. Up there, the weight of your answer would cease to be a factor and Potterfan would once again be in a position to go ahead and, with any luck, accurately measure the string.

The only problem then would be getting Potterfan into a suborbital rendezvous with the string for long enough to perform the measurement. And of course getting his mum to let him go string measuring that high on a weekday evening when he�s got to be up early for school in the morning.

As long as you have cut it.

[alphamale]

Ah, you've all missed the correct answer - twice as long as from the middle to the end. ;-)

What is a peice? <�?

[ianess]

Click.

[Kos]

Easy one this..........

Its 2 x half it's length!!!

[qapmoc]

I have answered this before - There are no seperate pieces of string in the universe, there is only one infinitely long piece of string which goes into and out of wormholes in space giving the optical illusion effect that each piece has two ends.

[druiaghtagh]

If i told you how long my piece was, i'd have to kill you

[BigMac]

Twice as long from one end to the other as it is from one end to the middle.

[moomoojaj]

The question is: -

How long are you short of?

[sheffwed39]

mines 2 feet 6

[Dizzieblonde]

The distance from one end to the other
