What is your Mulubinba Number?

Mathieu of Ban Sidhe appears to have become a collaborator in The Blogroll Small World Experiment. Whereas my original idea was to start with a random weblog and find the shortest path back to your home weblog via Blogroll links, Mathieu has come up with the concept of the Mulubinba Number, which is found by finding the shortest path back to your home blog starting from Mulubinba Moments (here).

Here are the instructions to find your Mulubinba Number:

Step 1. Start at mulubinba.typepad.com/mulubinba_moments/
Step 2. Use the blogroll (or any list of links to other weblogs) to find other weblogs with blogrolls.
Step 3. Compile a path of links through the world of weblogs that will take you home to your own weblog (or any other target you choose). You may have to explore several different possible paths until you find the shortest path to your home weblog.

The number of clicks needed to get to your weblog is your Mulubinba Number.

Remember, to get from blog A to blog B, blog B must be listed on blog A's blogroll (regardless of whether the reverse is true).

The theory is that most weblogs will have a Mulubinba Number of 6 or less. Let's see if that is true.

(Of course when I add Ban Sidhe to our blogroll its Mulubinba Number will change from 5 to 1.)

Thanks Geoff!

Nicely put, I will link to this post from my sidebar to make sure every visitor knows that Ban Sidhe is proud to have a Mulubinba Number of 1 :)

I don't believe this. At least, I didn't. I've no blogroll, and just one link from elsewhere (Ivy). Yet three clicks and I'm home. I couldn't have imagined it.

4. Best I could do (I didn't check all permutations, in truth).
