When fewer than five per cent of the crowd know where they want to go, everybody ends up wandering in circles. Furthermore, when they do manage to get from A to B they are often unable to explain how they got there. </blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/02/080214114517.htm" href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/02/080214114517.htm" style="font-size: 11px;">www.sciencedaily.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/02/080214114517.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.sciencedaily.com/img/EECC17D9-B14C-4F3F-9360-99DE7DCB9869" alt="ScienceDaily: Your source for the latest research news and science breakthroughs -- updated daily" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/02/080214114517.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.sciencedaily.com/img/F8079628-6C68-45C0-B2E1-1ED24EABAD75" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/02/080214114517.htm"><P>Professor Krause, with PhD student John Dyer, conducted a series of experiments where groups of people were asked to walk randomly around a large hall.
