How much separates us!?

Take part in The Separation Challenge, more info here: http://www.carobit.com/Forum/ShowThread/YouTube%20Discussions/20080411054526P...

If you know me "In Real Life" you can obviously not participate. People in Ireland, too, are too close for this to be worth your while.

Anybody else, please do participate. Print out the document, and find a way to get it to me! If you start this by printing it out, write your name in the box labeled "This letter was started by".

I am not out to gather personal information, so feel free to use a nickname or an alias instead of your real name. PLEASE DO NOT ADD ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THE LIST.

Then hand it to the first person you think may be able to get this letter to me, or at least closer to me. Anyone.

But please make this a physical chain, from hand to hand. DO NOT USE POST. Make sure that all participants are willing, able, and committed to carry this on before handing the letter to the next person in the list.

If you are going to start on this challenge, please post a video of yourself with the pristine letter before you send it on its way. When I receive it I will post one with the final letter, and I will read out the names and the nicknames added to it on its way.

Every participant should add his name, nickname or alias to the list before passing it on.

Have fun!

hello, could you tell me how many people in all participate in your experiment ?

Did any of the documents reach you finally?

Could you offer me some information for those completed chain concerning:

1 where did it start?

2 how many people did it take before it completed?

May be just give me some extreme examples there are many.

Thank you very much for your time.

I'm afraid this wasn't a success. I know about 3 or 4 people who definitely participated. None of the documents have reached me .... yet.

[penguindo1]

OK. Thanks.

[rozeboosje]

It's a pity, but I'm considering re-launching this in a format that makes it less likely for someone to drop out of the chain. This one depended too much on people actively finding someone they could trust to carry on with this.

[qanazir]

Perhaps I will send one if some of my friends are heading in that direction.

The thing is not to try and rush it. Do you know anyone who does sometimes go to Ireland, well, you can give it to them now. If you don't, think of someone who you think might know somebody who does ... etc. If none of the above, well, Holland and England are closer to Ireland, so maybe if you knew someone (who knew someone) who goes THERE instead?

The idea is to give it to someone you think *might* be closer to me in the chain, and let it go from there.

Not that I have received any yet.

[rozeboosje]

er... No, it's nothing mysterious. Just plain old networking and long distance links.

fate or coincidence?, science or faith? either way i am sure we are all connected, i am not taking part in this test as i am quite convinced in this theory as too many weird circumstances have happened to me reguarding the small world.

good luck i finding the truth

[rozeboosje]

Indeed!

I found out that I am only two degrees separated from Osama bin Laden (I know someone who once met him). Kind of unnerving when I think about it.
