6 degrees of seperation, urban myth?? maybe
my question is what is the degree of seperation on the WWW
I don’t know what seperation is.
Do you mean like how many links do you have to click to get to a website about Kevin Bacon?
I’m here for the gangbang
omg free toy inside! 
It takes off.
listen this is probly the slowest time of the year for sales
good old wikipedia
Six degrees of separation refers to the idea that, if a person is one “step” away from each person he or she knows and two “steps” away from each person who is known by one of the people he or she knows, then everyone is no more than six “steps” away from each person on Earth.
Internet and computer networks
In 2001, Duncan Watts, a professor at Columbia University, attempted to recreate Milgram’s experiment on the internet, using an e-mail message as the “package” that needed to be delivered, with 48,000 senders and 19 targets (in 157 countries). Watts found that the average (though not maximum) number of intermediaries was around six. This finding is surprising, given the worldwide nature of the Internet.
It has been suggested by some commentators that interlocking networks of computer mediated lateral communication could diffuse single messages to all interested users worldwide as per the 6 degrees of separation principle via Information Routing Groups, which are networks specifically designed to exploit this principle and lateral diffusion.
so every 3 people there is some bacon :gotme:
If you do (6.6 billion / 6!) do you get the number of people that everyone must know in order for the entire world to be separated by 6 degrees? I kind of think you do but I haven’t done statistics in years.
i dont know that many people
I think it may be something more along the lines of 6.6 billion/6!*5!*4!*3!*2!
which would give you on average about 275 people…
So would that be 6.6billion/6!! ?
:headache:

On topic: it’s got to be surprisingly low.
