No need for Matt Parker, just anyone who can program and has a textbook covering graph algorithms. Actually the graph is probably small enough it would be easier to do it by hand than to code a solution.
I had to do a double take a few times on my news feed as weird things like wild fires and air plane crashes were being reported in Ontario … California!
We’re already there. I know of 2 California’s, an Indiana, and countless Washington’s that are not the states.
Alabama, New York
Montana, Wisconsin
Alaska, New Mexico
New Mexico, Maryland
Texas, New York
New York, Texas
Oregon, Iowa
Virgina, Minnesota
Seeing this, I now wonder what’s the longest possible chain of “State1-named city, State2; State2-named city…” you can create.
Someone should ping Matt Parker or someone who knows how to code such a lookup program :)
That sounds right up his alley actually.
Might have to avoid the Texas / New York loop though.
