Cool Google Passes Weight To Nofollow

So, I did a test of my own, with the help of 2 buddies. To see if google does or does not pass weight with links using the nofollow, the results are not surprising for me but they may be for a few members here at the forums.

I bought the domain on 1/3/08
I made the site on 1/3/08 night
The site was officially indexed on 1/6/08
The site had 10 backlinks
All using nofollow
Just 10 backlinks, and nothing else.

So, it took the website 3 days to index in google serps. I say it will take another 5 or so to rank for the term. All with nofollow links. You may check the backlinks on yahoo if you would like.

The website is stymiee.info (hehe)

http://www.google.com/search?q=stymiee.info

The results:
Google still passes weight to nofollow links, not as much as regular links. The proof is present and in clear view.

Oh and who is right about wiki links helping
