    Put any actors name in google followed by "bacon" and "number" and google will calculate the six degrees. allegedly a score higher than 4 is rare.

    Miley from glenroe's bacon number is 2.

    Every search I do ultimately ends up linking them to someone that Kevn Bacon starred in X-Men with. Did half of bloody Hollywood star in that movie or something?

    Am I the only one that doesn't understand this..? Is it "bacon number (actor name)"?

    Ah, it's (actor name) bacon number, without the quotation marks.

    This website should be of use:

    Edit: Works with any actors, not just Kevin Bacon.
