Title: The Kevin Bacon game, railway-style Post by: TerminalJunkie on January 13, 2009, 16:54:07 Starting from Barnstaple (http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/smr/BNP.html (http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/smr/BNP.html)), can you get to Oban (http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/smr/OBN.html (http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/smr/OBN.html)) in less than six clicks? If you want to know why it's called the Kevin Bacon Game, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Kevin_Bacon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Kevin_Bacon) If you'd like to play the Kevin Bacon Game, see http://oracleofbacon.org/ (http://oracleofbacon.org/) Title: Re: The Kevin Bacon game, railway-style Post by: grahame on January 13, 2009, 17:47:49 Five.
Cursor to right of the P in the location bar Delete Cursor to the left of the B Press O Press enter It's that easy because OBN ends as BNP starts Title: Re: The Kevin Bacon game, railway-style Post by: grahame on January 13, 2009, 17:50:22 BNP - CPN - FOC - OBN
(A new use for some of our quieter stations!) Title: Re: The Kevin Bacon game, railway-style Post by: TerminalJunkie on January 13, 2009, 18:36:27 BNP - CPN - FOC - OBN I found a three early on, too: BNP - SGB - JEQ - OBN, so this is probably too easy. Perhaps the questions should be whether there's a pair of stations that can't be done in four or fewer clicks? (A new use for some of our quieter stations!) Indeed :) Title: Re: The Kevin Bacon game, railway-style Post by: Btline on January 13, 2009, 21:42:32 One click:
