    I wonder if day length is given separately in a table prior to the question? I’m not sure what they wanted except maybe seconds?

      It’s the length of the string. The number of characters is 6. It’s a play on words and a question.

      I’m assuming they wanted the literal length of the string

        That seems to be the consensus.

        Naw, they wanted the metaphorical length. Computers are great at metaphors.
