    Hang on!

    You're all wrong. It's 50% longer than 2/3rds of the distance from one end. I know because I've just measured it.

    Col

    (By the way, I had to cut bits off to get an accurate measurement so if anyone wants a small bagful of bijou stringettes, lemme know!)

    No no no. It's 300% of 1/3 of the distance from the right hand end. It's 50% longer than 2/3rds the distance, only from the left hand end.

    Is there anything easier done than said?

    From an atheist: I don't believe in string

    From an architect: tie it in a loop and it'll be as long as it needs to be.

    From an engineer: it doesn't meet minimum spec. Replace it with a bit of rope!
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    The length of a piece of string is exactly twice the distance from the center to one end.
