| Jan 15 at 5:54 | comment | added | Number Basher | But it's possible that it is true, perhaps due to equal tension of string; but I don't see how it directly connects to length. | |
| Jan 15 at 5:52 | comment | added | Number Basher | My intuition tells me no, but surprisingly I don't have anything that's elastic enough to show the difference... | |
