String is only available in one of two lengths.
There are short strings and long strings.

I cannot now remember the figures but I read the answer to this a while ago it goes something like " the shortest piece of string would be 1/2" as you couldn't make a knot with less , the longest piece is the standard roll made by the manufacturers which I think was about 1/4 of a mile then a few more figures were thrown in that made sense at the time and the answer came out at about 6 1/4 "

How long is a piece of string or a river or whatever depends on the ruler you’re using. It’s actually down to the field of fractals, which link into chaos, so it’s subtle maths behind a seemingly obvious question.

Hi. Ironically a "super string" is the smallest object in the universe, as far as we know and if the theory is correct.

a piece of string is measured as the number of folds in in the rope multiplied by the length of each fold, followed by adding the number of turns by 2 * pi * the thickness of the rope plus the circumference of your neck. you have just measured the lengh of rope that you need to hang yourself for asking this question.

Ummm, you do realize string doesn't come in one standard length, right?

It depends on how long you want it to be. Its twice half its length

it will be as long as the measurement from one end to the other
