The length of that rope ≠ the best sports car ever.

Reminds me of an old joke...a woman goes into a hardware store and tells them that she needs a small piece of rope. The guy asks her, "how small?"

She holds her thumb and finger a little ways apart and says, "oh, about 8 inches."

The hardware guy says, "lady, you've been lied to."

Hah, my immediate thought too.

I'd say the best thing is to just unravel the thing. Probably would be done with it if you had unless you're just playing with a thought experiment.

I would’ve thrown it in the trash by now vs trying to get rid of it on FBMP.

I don't know about where you live but around here "How long is a piece of string." is an annoying saying.

Me: "When is the router going to be back up?"
Them: "How long is a piece of string?"
Me: "Exactly 1.2 meters, now answer the question."
