6 Degrees of Separation

[Firefoot]

YET ANOTHER NOTE: Ask for a maximum number of links to trace the difference between two characters. For instance, in the Frodo to Mauhur example you would have to figure it out using no more than 3 links.

Extra Note: Try not to use Gandalf, Saruman or Sauron if it can be helped. These people have a link to just about everybody.

So maybe no one has really been following the rules for a while - no one is posting their maximum. So, in that case I would give it to you except that looking back Sauron is in the list too. Wait, now I'm confused... and getting Balrogs mixed up... So not fewer people, but different people, and the most is 4. Sorry for all the confusion!
