## Challenge Description
*I am now more refined and only like Brad Renfro and Bille August, the problem is they are not very famous... Oh well, I do know that to connect them Brad always connects to the same actor through the same movie could you find who that is, the movie and the degrees ?
You might need some IMDB files this time (provided in Data.zip) Flag format: DO{numberOfDegreesFirstNameLastNameMovieName} Example Flag: DO{8DwayneJohnsonJungleCruise}*
### ***Solution***
This challenge was a kevin bacon game which is a lot similar to the first misc challenge 1-degrees of destruction. This game involves linking actors together through movies they have featured in and actors that they are linked together by(degrees are level/number of links). For the first challenge it was a lot simple because of this site **https://oracleofbacon.org/** which does the heavy lifting and you just have to enter the names of the actors to link together. However this second challenge involved some scripting since we were provided with a custom dataset which we had to process and find a way to link the actors together. But before reinventing the wheel, i scoured for a similar script in github and found one **https://github.com/zaidkazi/Kevin-Bacon-Game**. This script also had its own datasets so i had to replace the dataset in the large folder to our given dataset. After running the script severally with exception of some false positives, i got the Actor as Sarah Sarandon, Degrees as 3 and the movie as 'The Client'. Flag - **DO{3_Sarah_Sarandon_The Client}**
