Scale-free networks question
In a social platform, you can be friends with people from many different countries. Suppose you pick two random people with entirely different profiles, what can you expect from the number of steps (friend-of-a-friend connections) that would take for these two to connect? Assume the social platform follows a scale-free network. a) There isn't a feasible number of steps connecting two people, since most people in the network are isolated. b) It could take hundreds of steps, since there isn't anyone in the network that knows a lot of people. c) It will take a small number of steps, as eventually someone will know a lot of people. d) It will take an equal number of steps, as everyone knows the same amount of people. e) None of the above.
