Capacitance between breadboard contacts
EEVblog Dave answered this question in the episode here.
The quick answer is that for a pair of 5 contact strips next to each other the capacitance between them was close to 2pF across a range of difference boards. Jumping a strip, so you leave an empty one in the middle, halved the capacitance.
