| how long is a piece of string Hvad er højest, Runde Tårn eller et tordenskrald ? Explanation: A totally different suggestion. This is not about a string but a traditional phrase for something that can not really be measured, or be measured flexibly to your own need. Could also just be : hvor højt er et tordenskrald ?
