[hopefully] six degrees of forum separation.

[HansonKerman]

please put long answers in spoiler tags thaaank you 

so, it’s the six degrees of separation theory, where everyone ever can be connected with six people, basically

Hanson posted in just Jim’s forum post

or

Vanamonde posted in VoidCosmos’s post who posted in Jim’s post who posted in Hanson’s post.

each poster will provide an answer and two people.

so

EXAMPLE
poster: (x) to [y]
poster2:x posted in y’s thread. Next, a to e.

poste3: a posted in b posted in c posted in d posted in e’s thread. P to o.

if the post is impossible, the poster who recommended it FAILS.

ok

This thread violates quarantine rules.

(Also, isn't it the same as "Guess who posts next")

no... it’s no where close...

There's less than two meters between the posts, and the thread is also promotes the handshaking?

Quote

Six degrees of separation is the idea that all people on average are six, or fewer, social connections away from each other. Also known as the 6 Handshakes rule.

It being called the 'six handshakes rule' does not mean it promotes handshaking. String theory is the theory that wormholes have/had 'cosmic strings' running through them, and does not promote strings.

An old thread, revived for unknown purpose.

Oh

[Gargamel]

Right...  I don't understand how it works either, but I know we're not doing it.   Stay in the game!

I think I just sneezed...

 

UPDATE:  more seriously...  low-hanging fruit.  EVERYONE who has ever posted in Xeldrak's famous post are all connected with two degrees of separation.

(I claim them all and leave it as an exercise for the reader to enumerate them.  Which has been done already for me by Xeldrak hisself.  In his wonderful note.  In which he induced people to come forward and self-identify...)
