Six degrees or less. Suppose this graph is a model for your mom and her Facebook friends, along with some of their friends, and their friends’ friends. The people are the vertices, with an edge between two people if they are friends on Facebook. Let the Mom nunber of a person be the smallest number of edges you need to travel in the graph to get from that person to your mom. So your mom has Mom number 0 and because you’re her friend (right!?), you have Mom number 1. How many vertices in the graph represent people who have Mom number 2? Is there anyone with Mom number 3? Can you find four people who are all Facebook friends with each other?
