Seven Degrees of Separation




"Six degrees of separation is the theory that everyone and everything is six or fewer steps away, by way of introduction, from any other person in the world, so that a chain of "a friend of a friend" statements can be made to connect any two people in a maximum of six steps."

Well that's what Wikipedia says, but there is a seventh one. The one friend who refuses to say or admit that they know you, kinda like your ex. Well yeah, technically you aren't friends anymore. Thus breaking it down to only six known connections.
