A good question all the same. How many people ask you to make a book case that is a good height not too wide but tall enough to take all their books?
been to smiths once.
theres another mill in niranda or thereabouts
and a coupla mobile mills around too.
how long is a piece of string? Never as long as you need it to be....
It is exactly 3,405 mm long (at room temperature)
How do you know it isn't 3,405mm wide and only a few mm long?
Damn Skew ChiDAMN!! DAMN!!
I just remeasured it and you are correct. Sneaky bit of string turned sideways. OK, a piece of string is now EXACTLY 3.792mm long by 3,405 mm wide.
You beat me to it RusellQuote:

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.

Yeah but d'ya want any stringettes?Quote:

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!
from the patient
There were two of them
and they were both diffrent, yet and all three were the same like my aunties pegs

Be buggered if I care. As long as it fits around his flaming toe.
Isn't How Long a Chinaman and nto a piece of string?
The length of a piece of string is exactly twice the distance from the center to one end.
