Good one! I didn't get it thought... I know, pathetic!
haha thankz i jus made that up out of nothing
nice one almost thought there would be a way to measure with it with your eyes until it clicked
You missed the point, it's not about that, that was just to put you off. It asked you how YOU knew and that's because i told you that it was 100 meters
i thought it was a telephone wire. u no, telephone poles are spaced evenly and if you knew how far apart they were....well that was the wrong answer! leave it to me to think im using my brain when im really not.
Shows how much we pay attention to details!

How did I get that wrong?
I figured I knew how long it was because I was the one who measured and cut it.
