I'm dubious that the question How connected are you? is appropriate as written. On the one hand, it's a wonderful game for a social networking site for mathematicians. On the other hand, I don't particularly care to participate in such a site. On the third hand, I can simply avoid participating in this post. On the fourth hand (and I'm rapidly running out), to the extent this has anything to do with research, it seems that OP is using MO more as a way to reach a large community of mathematicians than to ask a mathematics-research question. On my fifth and last hand, the question has received 12 up votes, and so clearly the question is "of interest to mathematicians".
I have left a comment there directing discussion here. I have also voted to close, but don't feel strongly: if the question is closed, but if the discussion explains why it should not have been, I'll happily vote to reopen.
