Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>actually, 6 steps from Kelly to A-Rod. I was maxing out on 6 on a lot of players trying to find someone else with 7 or more and couldn't, so I ran Kelly to A-Rod and it only comes up as 6 players between them.<BR><BR>Can anyone find a longer chain? There are a lot with 6 that I have found.<BR><BR>I played this game with some friends on the Bacon Oracle and I won with longest chain between people appearing in a movie using the explorer Roald Amundsen (appeared in a documentery) and Al Hrabosky (appreared in Major League) with 6 steps. No one else was able to find another with 6 steps.<BR><BR>Jay
