6 Degrees of Separation

[Urwen]

Sure thing


Bill - Sam - Galadriel - Orodreth - Turin - Mim

[Nerwen]

What about- without Galadriel either?

[Urwen]

Now that's pushing it.



But I tell you what. If you post a new riddle soon, I'll find a way to do it.

[Urwen]

And.....there is no other way. Either I have to use Galadriel or it becomes more than six steps.

No, no, I think we can do it (drawing shamelessly on your prior work):

1. Bill was sent on the quest by
2. Elrond, who was the herald of
3. Gil-Galad, who was the son of
4. Orodreth, who was king over
5. Turin, who was kind of mean to
6. Mim.

I wanted to go via Legolas, but you have to use both Thranduil and Oropher to get a confirmed connection to Thingol, and then you don't have space to reach Mim.

Oh, but can we do:

1. Bill was best buds with
2. Sam, who met
3. Celeborn, who was kin to
4. Thingol, who sent out
5. Beleg, who was hated by
6. Mim?

I'm not sure if the Celeborn-Thingol link is strong enough, though.

Off-Topic: What do you think about my latest post in Sil Parody thread?

[Nerwen]

New riddle's up.

Huey, I guess yours work, but what if I told you it can be done without using Sam (or any member of the Fellowship) either?.
