[LINK] How long IS a piece of string?

[Dr. Bob Jansen]

 From one of the Adelaide newspapers, but don't know which one.

THE LONG.....
One of life's great mysteries has finally been solved. After a survey 
of 400 Adelaide residents by McGregor Marketing, the proverbial piece 
of string measures in at 6.47m long. The question was proposed by 
JOHN MITCHELL, from the PR company with the same name, after winning 
a prize with the leading marketing research company.

....AND THE SHORT OF IT
Incredibly 58% of those surveyed had no idea how long was a piece of 
string, while 14% gave a specific length. Most estimates ranged 
between 10cm and 100m, with the average being 6.47m. Makes you think 
doesn't it.
