Wait, do you mean make one link to Bacon through both names or make separate links? I'm thinking it might be fun to have to use two actors making one link to Bacon, what do you think?

Wait, do you mean make one link to Bacon through both names or make separate links? I'm thinking it might be fun to have to use two actors making one link to Bacon, what do you think?
It's just that we are still then in a position of doing it as degrees to and then from Bacon, which means each time having to cite 2 Bacon movies, when it is already getting a little tedious using the same links/movies repeatedly. But can give it a go and see how it goes...
To kick it off do something pretty straight forward. Six steps to connect
River Phoenix (via Bacon) to Madonna

Do you mean have Bacon in the middle? Like...
River Phoenix is in Stand by Me with Kiefer Sutherland
Kiefer Sutherland and Kevin Bacon are in A Few Good Men
Kevin Bacon and Tom Hanks are in Apollo 13
Tom Hanks and Madonna are in A League of Their Own
You're still going to be using the same Bacon flicks over and over. You're doing the exact same thing only twice in a round.

It would be just better to name 2 actors to be connected within the 6 steps, with NO 'via Bacon' link.

That is what I was assuming Gideon was suggesting we do, despite as I pointed out above, the same issue arises of the same links/films being recycled repeatedly.

OK, this is different than what we were doing, but I think Understand her now...link one actor to Bacon and then link Bacon to the 2nd actor, correct?
I would suggest that we just name 2 actors without the necessitty of being via Bacon links. As both Holden and I have pointed out, going via Bacon is just going to see us use and reuse the same links/films repeatedly anyhow.
So literally just name 2 actors and have 6 steps to connect them, without Bacon needing to be involved at all (unless by choice)
