Why?
Stefan has not refreshed the database, my WCA ID (As of Belgian open) is still not recognized...
because Blonk competed again I am guessing Tim was trying to ask Stefan to update it (all subtle like).

Ronald Hoekstra 2005HOEK01 has a Bacon number of 2.
He was the 'hand double' of Eion Bailey in the Movie Mindhunters.

Though, it is in error as I was not really in a movie with Steve Martin.
That Dubai competition is completely separate from the rest. None of its participants ever participated in any other competition, so there's no connection to any other competitions and thus persons.
Not to take anything away from mr. Blonk but shouldn't we take "this guy" as the center of the cubieverse?
He's fixing the missing link so I think he deserves it.
(although my own Blonk number won't improve, dammit).

I disagree. This guy is a random unknown; the only reason the Dubai competition is unconnected is because cubing is obviously in its very earliest stages in that area of the world, and I think we can expect them to be much more well-connected in a few years, so he won't be important later. But Mr. (van der) Blonk gives us a nice set of coincedences: his name contains all the letters of "Kevin Bacon", and he has been the only one in the database to satisfy this criterion for at least some 7 years; but in addition the last part of his name is similar to that of Mr. Bacon in that it has the same number of letters and starts with the same letter. So I find it much more aesthetically pleasing to talk about Blonk numbers than to talk about Forootani numbers.

If you want a "kevin bacon" as the center of the cubieverse you should consider This guy
I wrote a paper last year with someone who has an Erdős number of 4. We sent it off to a journal a while ago, but we haven't heard anything back since...I should go bug them.
That is great Macky!
I would like to know if this would be updated, it would be interesting to see how it all looks now, if we have all gotten closer in the cubieverse, or if there are larger distances now than before.
Unfortunately not; My 2010 WCA ID is still not recognised by the cubieverse
