There's a new way to cheat at Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, a popular party game.
Google helps players calculate the degrees separating Kevin Bacon from the actor or actress of choice.
All a player needs to do is type "Bacon number" in the Google search bar, followed by an actor's name.
Google will then reveal the number of degrees separating the celebrity from Bacon.
For example: Kevin Bacon and Ryan Reynolds are separated by one degree, since the duo appeared in the movie "R.I.P.D."
Go ahead, search away.
