Actually, the 12 fret (octave) won't be exactly half way. When you
press the string down it increases in tension (and pitch). Hence,
frets are placed slightly nearer to the nut in order to compensate.

I should know this and I could look it up but it's just this:
What fret is where half the string length is? E.g if the string
length was 64cms, what fret would be 32cms from nut/bridge?
Thanks
