At last, somebody does the math. The 6th power of 44 = 7,256,313,856 which is close to the world population. Most people know 44 people. But, I don't think there's enough overlap to get from me to everyone in mainland China. I would guess 6 degrees of separation gets 90% of people to 90% of the world's population.
You only need to get to one person there to get to everyone. The overlap isn't as much of a big deal because most people know way more than 44 people. I know people in China so if you count people you know of online you have already started to spread there through 2 people.
Do you believe in six degree of separation?
