Venn Diagram Conversations

Four of us in the car, not always hearing each other clearly, leaping to conclusions only semi-correct, referring back to previous statements made one minute or ten minutes ago, we did briefly get it sorted out who had meant what, establishing that no one had asked what time it was, but the town we were in was Hopkinton, which should perhaps be included as a town in Central NH (two of us had initially agreed that only Concord should bear that label) along with the other Concord suburbs.

And then we were off again.  This is conversation for Wymans, a Venn diagram of individual conversations which are not identical but do intersect. Four worlds. I am trying to work out whether there is any territory shared by all four circles when the number of participants gets that high. My initial opinion is yes, but it is not large.
