  Half as much as they have measured, is my guess.

    THIS ia getting philosophical… i mean, first of all, things don’t need to be cut perfectly in half every time they’re cut.

    But then your answer is probably an estimate/approximation.

    HOWEVER… when you cut one piece of wood into two, is not 100% of the wood cut into?

    So either this carpenter measures 50% of his wood aimlessly, or you, sir, are a LIAR

      I believe they were alluding to “measure twice, cut once”

        This isn’t about measuring it so wrong that the number gets larger than it sheuld be?
