[Question] Six degrees of separation: how many handshakes are there between you and your country's leader?

This was an entertaining question! For me (Finland), one handshake: I've shook hands with Ilkka Paananen of Supercell, the gaming company (Clash of Clans for example), who's been invited to the Independence day celebrations hosted by the Finnish president annually, where the president shakes hands with every guest. (If I recall correctly, it's one of the most watched live television shows in Finland every year: Finns love to watch the president shake hands for two to three hours. :D Alas, due to covid the party has been cancelled this year. :( )

Anyway, since I've shook hands with Paananen, I don't think I have many handshakes to other world leaders either.
