LJConnect provides links between LJ's through chains of friends...
What is the shortest (longest) chain between a journal (LJ1) and the journal-whose-name-is-the-same-as-the-first-name-as-the-person-whose-journal-is-LJ1.
Examples:
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
essentialsaltes -> britgeekgrrl -> pollytrance -> burhenne -> mike (4 hops)
popepat -> bonniedelight -> dorwrath -> ergie -> pat (4 hops)
aaronjv -> bellwethr -> brad -> skamp -> aaron (4 hops)
britgeekgrrl -> dragongrl -> valacious -> emptycountry -> johanna (4 hops)
Is the score always 4? Is this a law of the universe? Surely not. Clever peoples of Earth, I ask you for your high and low scores.
In my brief search, I found a 5 and a 6.
No fair friending your namesake!
