Trivia: Show how Jimmy Wilde could have defeated Primo Carnera!

[Bundana]

You know: Wilde beat A, who beat B..... who beat X, who beat Carnera.

And the object of this exercise is of course to find the SHORTEST route for the tiny Wilde to "beat" the giant Italian.

[S.G.]

Sorry, slightly off topic, but once in a thread for this game in NSB I asked someone to link John L Sullivan to current strawweight titlist Sithsamerchai and they actually did it :

John L. Sullivan-James J Corbett-James J Jeffries-Jack Johnson-Walter Price- Johnny Dias-Bristol Brown-Steve Salek-Young Byron-Bill Tordiglione-Joe Pyle-Gus Rubicini-Duke Harris-Rudell Stitch-Stan Harrington-Fumio Kaizu-Yoshiaki Akasaka-Sun Kap Choi-Somkiat Kiatmuangyom-Yukio Katsumata-Taketeru Yoshimoto-Kengo Kitagawa-Fujio Mikami-Noriyuki Matsuo-Eijiro Saito-Kenji Yanagihara-Keizo Kamei-Kenji Yanagihara-Shinsuke Taniwaki-Takashi Yamada-Katsuyoshi Takayama-Speedy Hayase-Susumu Hanagata-Miguel Canto-Gabriel Bernal-Miguel Lora-Raul Perez-Diego Avila-Juan Carazo-Luis Yampier-Luis Vargas-Jose Pagan-Javier Campanario-Johnny Bredahl-Leo Gamez-Juan Antonio Torres-Henry Casarrubia-Daniel Reyes-Manuel Vargas-Edgar Sosa-Omar Soto-Oleydong Sithsamerchai

Jimmy Wilde bt Joe Lynch
Joe Lynch bt Eddie Wilmer
Eddie Wilmer bt Eddie Carver
Eddie Carver bt Jimmy Belmont
Jimmy Belmont bt Babe Risko
Babe Risko bt Teddy Yarosz
Teddy Yarosz bt Lloyd Marshall
Lloyd Marshall bt Ezzard Charles
Ezzard Charles bt Joe Louis
Joe Louis bt Primo Carnera

I'm fairly certain this can be made shorter..

Good effort, Mickey... it remains to be seen, if someone else can come up with a shorter route.
