The halfway point is also very easy to find - just pick any point on the string and call it halfway. You'll find that the length of during on each side of this point to be identical. Edit: this assumes that both ends of the string are infinite; if only one end is infinite then it's impossible to bisect laterally, although lengthwise bisection is still possible, provided you can cut infinitely fast or have an infinite amount of time in which to cut...
