Actually, the undetermined refers to the fact that no one has yet to correct
the inventory with the proper length of string that came with the set.

Ah yes. Even then, is there any guarantee the lengths are correct. I have a couple
of used strings from a set with a defined length and they are not exactly equal
to the length in the catalogue, both slightly different but over by up to 1cm.
Which suggests these either vary a little within production, have stretched in
use, were measured incorrectly or measured in a different way. It doesn't
matter for the function the string is used for, so not a big deal.


The strings will fluctuate around the number it should be according to LEGO inventory
data. So, a 50cm string will likely fall somewhere between 48.5cm to 51.5cm.
For our purposes, we use the number that TLG intended the set to be used with.
