Citizenship Application Question

I am filling out the citizenship application as of June 2015 but I am a bit confused as to the actual meaning of this question:
"In the past 4 years, were you present in any country, other than Canada, for at least 6 months (cumulative)."
Does this mean that if I went to China and stayed 2 months in each of the 4 years (total 8 months) then I must say "yes" to this and supply a police certificate? Or does this mean if I stayed a total of 6 months at any one time then it applies? Also how many days is 6 months exactly by the CIC standards? Would 182 days be six months?
