How many degrees?

It used to be said that you were 6 degrees (people) away from say The President of the US, now we are more likely to be 3 or 4 degrees away from that same person due to twitter, linkedin etc.

 

So can you work out how many degrees you are from:

1. Barack Obama

2. Ozzy Osbourne

3. Colin Firth

4. Alex Ferguson

I've worked out that I am 4 degrees from Barack Obama, 4 if not 3 degrees from Ozzy Osbourne,

3 degrees from Alex Ferguson - I know Alan McColgan, Alan works for DW Stadium owned by Mike Whelan - Mike Whelan will have Alex Ferguson's phone number.

I think I'm about 5 degrees from Colin Firth.

I'm not sure I'd want to admit to being that close to Ozzy Osbourne!
