Link people or even things or events -- anything-- together in the least amount of steps i.e. Six Degrees of Separation.
The link must be real. Don't stretch it too far.
The puzzle giver must have a solution.
The first person who solves it reasonably goes next, but another player must accept the solution before the next set is given.
More than one solution is okay. The person who links with the least amount of steps wins.
New Rule: No Kevin Bacon links. Too many easy resources on the web!
I'm sure we will refine this as we go.
Example:
Link Marilyn Monroe to Monica Lewinsky
************************************
************************************
Possible solution:
Marilyn Monroe was married to
Aurthur Miller who wrote
The Crucible. A movie version starred
Wynnona Ryder whose lawyer is
Mark Garregos who defended
Susan Mc Dougal who knew
Bill Clinton and so did
Monica Lewinsky
That's 7 steps not counting the first name.
