"Connect 6".

[ZR1cliff]

Ive heard somewhere that you are never more than 6 people away from the furthest person in the world,that is you will always know someone that knows someone....you get my point,,is this true.
Ive recently done a "connect 2" from the South East to Manchester purely by chance.
Any others.

Are you on Ecademy or something similar?

I used to have a handicapped painter who worked for me doing odd jobs. He went to school with a lad who worked in a bar in Hollywood. He went out there for a holiday and met Keanu Reeves. Reeves liked the guy so much he has paid for his air fare every year since and they have become firm freinds. So I reckon that makes me 3 away from Bush, 4 away from any other head of state and that means 6 away from anyone in the world.

So its basically a lame persons way to try and connect themselves to someone famous on the most flimsy link they can find then

No its just a bit of maths. For example we have known for a long time that any multi faceted surface can be covered by 4 colours and you will never have 2 colours sitting side by side. It is only recently that someone has produced the mathematical proof.

Ah, the Bacon game. Bunch of Math students in the states showed that nearly all actors are 6 films away from Kevin Bacon (used the IMDB to do if). It's all based on graph theory.
