 [???] hmm... a peaice of string.... and I thought this would be about supersting theory... oh well.

x=lenth of string
(x-385748913343655555555557932465)+385748913343655555555557932465
still with me?
then divide the answer by 2 before doubling it.
AND THERE IS YOUR ANSWER!

a peice of string is ALWAYS x long

just a thought
