      However long you need or want it to be!

      In Science we do love accuracy, so we don’t know the length of things like ‘a piece’! In general you need to be more specific when describing objects.

      Twice as long as it is from the middle to the end.

      In my experience, it’s always a bit shorter than you need. 🙁

      Precisely 13.79 cm long. Or at least the piece of string I had in my desk was that long…
