The real trick with the database is to try and find the actor with the HIGHEST "Bacon Number"

It's actually a book. In the book, the guys who created the game explain how they came up with the idea.

It's really great to see how some of this country's institutions of higher learning are educating their student population.

On second thought, it's a good exercise in database construction and management...but still.

I was very impressed by you guy's knowledge - before I knew it was all from a database! Ya buncha cheetaz!!!
