In general, though, just about a centimetre shorter than you need it to be. Like, it's never bladdy long enuf, innit.*

Answer 2

The question isn't how long is a peice of string, but how long is the entire length of the original string?

Answer 3

I'm sure I answered a question like this the other day....

I'll give you the same answer I gave them because I frankly can't be bothered to think of something witty and original.

A piece of string is as long as you want it to be! Or as long as it can get before you run out of string.

Answer 4

A piece is a length of 74mm string.
Going back to the Roman Times a coin the "Triens" had a hole in the middle of it with a piece of string through, the string was 74mm long or latin measurement "palmus" and most coins were commonly carried around the neck because they didn't have walletts.

although most think it is a rhetorical question the answer is in fact 74mm!!
